Well,,JC,,like most shade tree'ers,,,we don't always have all the tools we need to get things done,,,I had always just used BFH's to knock out and "beat In" bushngs , bearings and what not,,,but Chit,,I'm gettin too friggin old to keep doin that  PLUS my shoulder is aching me more and more and the 3# shop hammer feels like a 16# sob anymore,,, The little HHR I always drive (32MPG) had started shimmyin when you stepped on the brakes and was gettin worst every day,,,So, after a close call, I pulled the right side lower control arm,,,and glad I did as the rubber part of the bushing was completely gone and the metal sleeve was almost worn completely thru,,,!!! I went to Oreillys and autozone and they both told me the bushing was NOT available by itself and I had to buy a complete control arm to the tune of $166,,,,!!! You KNOW ole Joe ain't gonna fall for thet kinda Chit,,so I check out YouTube and theys several videos of them replacing the same bushing them AH'S told me was not available,,So,,I check Ebay and there it is,,!! Yep,,,every bit of $28 each one,,,,friggin Highway Robbery. So I ordered two as the other side was just as bad,!! Delivery was super quick and I used the big vice and hammered and beat the new bushing in that control arm but I made ole Joe a promise that before he tried that again,,,,we were gonna make him a nice El Cheapo Hydraulic Press,,,SO,,now ole Joe has one and even an A/C model too,,!!!  Didn't you notice,??? By the way, JC,,,Thanks for fixin that for me,,,you gonna have to tell me how you do that,,OK,??

Naw,,,Chask,,,I still have the driver side of the HHR to do is why I went ahead and built the press,,,I just ain't got around to it yet,,,,,
Jeeeze,,,Jay,,,something had to be out of kilter if you broke a 20 ton unit,,,,whew,,,,, and I will let you in on a little secret,,,I DO have an almost new 20 ton hyrdaulic jack standing by and I made this press so that "IF" I really had to,,,I could drill some new holes in the base plate and bolt the 20 tonner,,,but sure hopin I never have to,,,,,,

I told her I was waitin on a guy to help load the 50#'er as it was down low close to the floor,,,she asks "which one you want?" I told her wait and lemme get this end and,,,,and,,,before I could get my slow azzed body movin,,,she reached down and jerked thet sob up off the floor and throwed in on my cart,,pretty as you please,,,,!!! Left me standin there with my hands reachin out for thin air,,,, She winked at me and begged me to have a great day and traipsed off whistlin as she went........

Looking at the cost $$$$ of a 20 T jack and guess what, the 20 ton press at HF is only a little more $$. But yeah, that don't do you any good when you're broke... Joe, you can borrow mine anytime.
Ya, JC, how'd you do that?

Joe you should've kept yer' old flip phone like I did. To much technology to be bothered with any of that crap those new fangled things do. My old flip phone works fine. All I do is talk on it. That's it! LOL! Customer's want to send me text's & pics. I tell em' don't bother, just send it to our e-mail address and I'll git' it. My old phone don't take text's, pics or any of that stuff. A lot less aggravation... LOL!  Steve@B&B

You know what,,,Steve in NJ,,?? You just gave me a great idea,,!! I still have the "old" smart phone I was using when I got talked into buying an "IPhone", because they are the "In Thing" these days,,,,,well,,they might be the in thing but they can't transfer pics worth a CHIT,,!! It is an Android so maybe,,,,,,
I'm gonna dig it out, recharge the battery and use it to take my pics cause it was so easy to transfer pics from it to my computer. Thas a great, great idea,,Steve,,,, I'm hoping it does not have to have service in order to transfer pics as i dropped that service when I went with the iphone,,,,,???
