Modifying a bottle jack for press use

Yup. Sure do. So you need the Big H follower arm, the big return springs, a rod welded to the bottom of the press as your pusher etc.

Yup, so you need that sliding arm, and what not.

With my work around, you only need....the jack and a piece of hose.

Nope..never seen that happen before. So I guess if I need enough power to form my own diamond, Ill be sure to make up one of the other kinds. This one works just fine for me. Used it twice today. Pressed out a set of bearings for the Covel OD grinder. Pressed in a new set.. WHEEEE! Works for me.

Im still rubbing my face trying to get rid of the keyboard imprint, and the original keyboard just came out of the solvent tank. It works well to clean out the drool...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I have to disagree here, Gary. With over 30 years in the commercial tire business, I've used a few jacks, from little 4 ton up to 30 ton double pumpers. Not once have I seen a ram bent. No even when a vehicle rolls off the jack or the soil gives way. It may crush the reservoir.
