Dear Volks,

As my Westy and 914 both age and I find myself performing more and more
mechanical work requiring the aid of a shop press, I would like to ask the
more mechanically able of you folks to advise me on buying a decent,
affordable shop press.  Harbor Freight offers a small 6-ton bench top
a-frame model for $49.00 on up to a 10, 12 and 20 ton floor presses
approaching $229.00 or so.  These reletively 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.?

Thanks,

Tom Naylor
