Shop with Press? (near Fridley)

Of course I sold my large press two weeks ago after not using it for a couple years, then yesterday I figured out I need to use one to press out my front left wheel bearing/hub from the front left knuckle on our Montero.

Anyone(shop? Primo?) close to Fridley able to press this out/in? How much and when can I drop it off?

Or does anyone have any suggestions close to my location they trust? Or take it to any Car X, Midas, etc?

I guess I should say close to my location is preferable, but not necessary.

I buy a ton of part from Fridley Carquest. Anything I couldn't press myself, I've had them do it. Really great guys over there.

I'm pretty sure my friend derek has a press in his basement (Minneapolis). Nothing too fancy just a basic press. Another option might be JET if you still have his number. He's in the Ham Lake area, and pretty sure he has a press.

Carquest quoted $43.50

Welle Auto quoted $45.00

Was kind of expecting $20ish, but need/want it done today while I'm at work.

FYI our shop at work has a press. If you can do it, you could probably go ask Dave Skow if you can use the press after hours...

I have a press at home, and I will be out in my garage tonight working on the race car. Send me a PM if you want to stop on by.

Double Crap.


Had the wife run it to/from Welle(easiest for her not to get lost). Just needed it done.

Thanks for all the responses.

I would love to see this actually work, I'm calling BS on this one. There is no way you could smash the bearing in without breaking/ruining it.
