Be very interesting to hear how the press goes, particularly the frame (not bothered about the jack part) I've considered getting one myself, and as I'm likely to be doing all suspension bushes over the next few months considering getting one soon.

Which breed did you get ?

Ive the super cheap 12T jobbie and its done all bushes on quite a few rovers now tho it flexes a bit and makes some good bangs whist pushing bushes :D

Mitch i only seen this post late last night you could have come used my press if i was around plus i have a few bosses made up for rover bushings which make the job that bit easyer :D
