These relatively inexpensive import models are
along the lines of what I had in mind.  Would the 6 ton model be inadequate
for wheel bearings, suspension bushing etc.?


--------------- reply ----------------------


I think the 6 ton has enough clearance for wheel bearings.  I think you will
need the 3rd smallest if you want to do a vanagon transmission.  I ended up
just making a press the size I wanted, just big enough to do vanagon
transmissions.  The harbor freight presses were too big and heavy for my
needs and my small shop.
