as the title states i am in the middle of doing this conversion on my 4 runner and am in need of a shop press to press out the axle and studs, etc.

anybody in the renton, wa - seattle, wa area have one i can use? i dont have money but i can bring beer. haha

i dont know the area to well and just moved here from california.

are there any shops that would do this for free? or really cheap?

 

Lots of WA memembers on here that could help ya, hit up the abandon thread. Lots of WA rif raff in there....

 

thanks man

 

i searched around some more and couldnt really find anything..

anyone wanna let me use there press? toyota wants 120 bucks to press them out.

i checked the 20 ton press from harbor freight and it is not tall enough to do the axle.

 

what part of cali? sorry dont have a press but what about napa? over off 180th across from ikea or up on east hill of kent is big wheel parts, give them a call im not sure if they do pressing. are u sure u can just hammer off the parts.


oh yeah love your link for the diff welding... hahah

 

If you take the axle into any Auto parts shop they can press it off and press new ones back on....for a nominal fee

I had Napa press off my tcase input shaft bearing...they pissed it away...so be warned...

 

i moved from Sacramento/Elk Grove area and ive seen that napa it looks huge! maybe ill try them, hopefully they are cheaper. and yes, you can not hammer them off, the last time i did this conversion i had to go to a diesel school and use there power hydraulic press. it was huge and like a million ton press. lol (ok, maybe not that big, but it was huge)


did they replace it? or did you have to fight them on it.
did you go to the one that is being referenced?

also. thanks to whoever adjusted my title and moved this thread. thank you.

 

i have family that lives in elk grove, my grandma and cousins... and i use to live in southern cali. los Angles palmdale and then san diego...

 

Ah no. I'm up here in Oak Harbor. They lost a detent ball and I had to explain what a detent ball was.

 

I have access to a press here on JBLM (Ft Lewis). Will have a small cost less than $10 the guys might let it slide though.

 

if i could afford to live in san diego, thats where i would be... to damn expenisve..

small world huh? haha my family still lives in that area.

and this napa doesnt even have a press. so i guess i can cross that off the list.

 

im at work right now... when could we do this?

 

Shops hours:
saturday/sunday 0900-1700
monday/tuesday closed
wednesday/friday 1300-2100

I can help you out but will need to know ahead of time my afternoon just got decided for me.

Never even thought of that.

I might have found a press. But if it doesn't work out. I will definitely be in touch mudpigg
