RE: Motor mount nightmare

[Randy Block <RandyB@E-Risk.com>]

Why bother when you can get one already *correctly* pressed in all black and
shiny from Techtonics Tuning.
Call them at (503) 843-2700 
Save yourself the scraped knuckles, pulled muscles, and possible injury that
might send you to the emergency room.
Just my $.02 worth.

	I would be careful buying any tool that would attempt to replace a
hydraulic press. I haven't used one of the arbors sold by RMM, but I have
done it a few times with a hydraulic press here at work, and even with the
hydraulic press it takes quite a lot of pressure to get the mounts out of
the brackets. Sometimes you have to build up the pressure until they snap
loose. I don't think I would try anything else--unless it was a money back
guarantee.
	 
	As a side note, one time when I did my front wheel bearings, I
rented that tool that's supposed to press them out with them still on the
car----Ha! That thing was a joke! Call me whimpy if you want, but I couldn't
get either one to budge a hair! I ended up having to dissassemble
everything, bring it to work, and use the hydraulic press here to press them
out.
	 
	I love tools, but I'll pass on this one and put my money on a
hydraulic press for my garage.
	 
	BTW, I'm getting a good deal on a used MIG welder--picking it up
tomorrow...anyone wanna' teach me how to weld?

			That makes me think of something - did anybody see
the "motor mount

looks like you could

one? 
			
			



		I saw that...I was gonna get one, but haven't ordered it
yet.
