- With my BMW e30 needing all new bearings/bushes around the car, I thought it would be best to have my own press, so that there's no need for me to be waiting on friends or work plans to get it done.
I decided to try out an eBay 'special' which I knew would be a liability, but one I thought to be worth it. I went with the larger of the main 3 sizes; 6, 12 and 20 tons as I knew that they would be exaggerating the load and I needed some serious grunt for the work I had planned.
On first inspection, it seemed as I'd expect; some pretty questionable welding and an excessive use of paint, there were no damaged or missing parts so we were off to a good start.
Upon the completion of assembly, there were now definetly more issues found with the press, including incorrect dimensions, poor paint finish and some serious safety issues.
I went ahead with a quick max load test and found there to be no real problems at full capacity, the cylinder would pass fluid if not very tight which was a pain with such a small screw.
Moving onto practical applications, the press really did impress me with the ease at which it would remove the bearings and bushes.
I had added a set of press blocks with 4 altering shapes which helped massively.

Great review pal👍
Thanks 👍
You just taught me so much
Good to hear!
I have a 12T version also from eBay and found the same build quality issues as you did (although it performs perfectly adequately). I hang a net across the middle from the supporting pegs to catch the item being pressed out if it's a bush or bearing. After a few modifications to mine it'll be getting repainted with grippier paint as that gloss finish on the black sections is a nightmare.
Good to hear yours performs well too. The net is a great idea, I don’t like to be anywhere near it when I’m pressing out wheel bearings/ball joints!
soo the wider pipe on the bottle jack handle has slots on one end use that to tighten the jack release screw
I figured that out pretty soon after making this video.. haha!
Nice I could do with one
Pretty happy with it for what it costs, saves me having to wait around to get stuffed pressed out now.
What's the gauge of the steel. How thick is it in mm please ?
The main pressing parts are 5-6mm, with the rest being 4mm!
I have to disagree about build quality, there is none. Shocking. I re-drilled the two bars you press on and made 2 tubular spacers to fit between the bars so that you can tighten the nuts and bolts permanently. Same for the 4 top corner joints and added some thick washers in those gaps, again so that the fasteners can be tightened. In between to lower brace and the outer frame I made and added spacers so that the bars you press on can be lowered all the way to the bottom of the 6 sets of holes. Added a set of (4) 50mm 50kg. castors from Tool Station so I cam move it around easily.
How is the bottle jack fixed? Would it be easy to replace with a pneumatic jack?
It’s simply held in by the tension of the springs, pulling it up into the arbor. Would be very easy to exchange it!
@@BadE30 Perfect, I was just researching before I ordered one, I thought this would be a good/cheap modification ebay.us/K8nPGC
Will it fit wheel bearing in the hub
Tricky to say without knowing what hub etc, but I’ve had no issues removing and installing front and rear wheel bearings from my bmw e30
@@BadE30 well it's audi a3 8l so it should be ok, thanks
