I've got got the same press and its great for wheel bearings dont use it that often but its a life saver when i do need it, i originally bought it to do a bearing on a drive shaft thats pressed onto the middle of the shaft and needed the extra head room this press has to put the whole shaft in to remove this type of awkward bearing, did the job in no time, i also have a small 6ton press i use just for bushes.
With the "breakaway" force of just over 6T, this video clearly demonstrates that you need a 12T press for replacing bearings on front drive vehicles. Installing the bearings can be done with a 6T press since all the surfaces will be clean and lubricated.
You destroy/ or reduce the life of the ball bearing by pressing it in this way You need to press on the outer ring on the bearing. There are tools to do this the right way
Finally a great video that shows what it can do. Too many stupid review videos showing nothing.
Thank you for taking time to leave your kind comments.
