ghetto fab bearing press

WE were setting up a set of 5.13's in a buddies dana 60 rear on his trialduster. our friend with a press in his garage is outta town for a while. WE used two highlifts, a clamshell and a block of wood to press on the pinion bearings. we're sure its not recomended by any of the companies whos products we used, but it sure did the job well.

sure they will, just put the pinion in the deep freeze and put the bearing on the coffee maker hot plate and they will slide together nicely.

Wait for me to get back in town?

Its a good thing you guys figured out an alternative for when I move down to Charleston...

I am getting kind of excited. I can't wait to buy a house and get a better shop going on. They are going to pay me a bunch more than I thought they were going to (like almost 30,000 more a year) so maybe it won't take me so long to get back rolling.
