Good call, saw a 20 ton at HF for $200. That should be enough for wheel bearings? And if the jack is junk I can always get a better one and still use the frame?

If you wait for the discounts you could get that 20 ton for $160 & use the difference toward some nice press plates like from SWAG offroad:

Those arbor plates supplied with HF presses just aren't what I would call safe at any speed.

And for fabbing brackets & skid plates:

I thought mine was less than that, but it was the cheapest one at HF when I bought it, and I don't see one for less....

 

 

Mine is plenty, I've probably done a dozen subaru wheel bearings. Lots of bushings, as well as some bearings and such. I've had a couple things fight me, but I opted to apply heat before maxing out the equipment. 12 Tons is a lot!
