Sixfooter if your not in a hurry,your welcome to use my complete set to press them out -set em up- and press back in place.I also have the staking tools for the TA bushings and plenty of shims for spindle end play and if you want to leave your rotors in place I have that bearing removal tool to.I'll be in Florida Jan.1 and you could have them for 4 months until I have to come back to Ohio.

Wow, thanks Roger. I ordered a 12t press, should be here in a couple days. I think all I need is the bearing etuo tool at this point, wondering if I should just go ahead and get one of them ordered. I got the Press for $89 and $6 shipping, not bad, better lookin unit than HF.
Rotors are off, being replaced with slotted SS, new all around. Got the upper A arms disassembled tonight, an air chisel is a good thing to have!
Parts washer is full of parts and the sandblast cabinet is setup so that will keep me busy til the press comes in. I'll look into it a bit nd see whats the best thing to do, thanks for the offer Roger
