Looking For Shop in Boulder (Press Bearings out/in)

[Mark Gronowski]

Need to get a bearing pressed out and new one pressed in. Shops in the boulder area with good work/prices?

Thanks,

Mark

I would bet just about every shop would have a bearing press. Minakee, or similar would probably be the cheapest.

Pete at Tire Source might be able to help.

Thanks for the replies. I will see what Pete says.

I think Harbour Freight has presses' pretty cheap

And it is close to Christmas too... That seems the best route. I don't think that HF's entry level press has enough adjustability??? Anyone have experience with their lowest press? I know the next one up is more than enough but i don't want to run into a job I can't do down the road.

Uh, go ahead and pass on the entry level HF press. We had one at a shop I worked at years ago, and it was wretched! The jack had less travel than the space between the height adjustments, so you had distance ranges that the press just plain couldn't do, and if you loaded the pump much at all, the press frame twisted so much the ram wouldn't stay square to the press table. There are better options...
