*Works perfectly for my use as a heated press **MyBest.Tools** Space between the ram jack and the base is a little tight. Make sure you set the ram jack arm so that it's in a position for you to get maximum leverage on whatever you're pressing. You may have to unbolt the front plate of the press and realign the ram in the teeth so that the arm is not at an awkward angle when fully cranked down.Other than aligning the ram in the teeth with the crank arm this .5 ton arbor press comes out of the box pretty much ready to use.*
Nice mod! I was thinking about getting this press for some wheel bearings & control arm bushings for my VW but i'm concerned the height would be an issue. I've got a metal cutting blade on my grinder & regular drill so doing this mod will be a bit more of a challenge for me. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Chuck what OEM paint did you use I'm trying to match colors i can't seem to find the right one
I had old can of spray paint laying around. It was some truck / tractor spray paint. Sorry I don't remember the brand but it matched perfectly.
