Bearing press

[HolyCount]

Hi there.

Anyone know of a firm that hires out bearing presses ?  OK they are only £40 - £the moon to buy, but I am only going to use it on 4 bearings, then it will sit at the back of the garage gathering dust!

I have tried the local Taunton hire bods and they don't seem to deal with garage stuff.

What kind of bearings are you pressing in? Is there not an easy alternative? Like G clamps or woodwork vices?

Hi Max. It's four SKF 62032RSH Sealed Deep Groove Ball Bearing, bearings,  17x40x12mm. One either side of the leading link fork stanchions, with a spacer in between.  Might be able to wind them in with a length of studding and a couple of big washers, but don't want to get stuck at the stage where they are half in and I can't get them out again !!!
