Anyone know where I might be able to rent one? I need to change some casters out in the control arms of one of my vehicles. Not really a job where I want to purchase this type of tool.

You would be hard pressed (sorry, couldnt resist) to find a rental due to liability potential.

Harbor Freight has a 12 and 20 ton manual press that won't break the bank. Other option would be to take the work to a local machine shop.

Well done.

I checked out Harbor Freight, and I'm going to go pick up their 20 ton press later this evening. Thanks for the recommendation. I didn't want to spend and arm and a leg.

Now that I think about it, TexAgs used to make some videos where they crushed the opposing teams helmets amongst other things. Who owned that press, and can I borrow it?

I got the job done this evening, and it took every bit of a 30 ton press to get it done. Maxed it out twice at one point. Thanks for all the suggestions.
