Got the 20ton one from harbor freight. Bro replaced his entire suspension and bushings. Still works well. Planning to press out and on other stuff as well in the future. Worth the buy if they are charging you that much already. Key things is to just make sure that you are "SQUARE" and "CENTERED" before going all the way down.

Re: Anyone have their own press?
you don't need a press to get bushings out, even the metal ring.
1) Heat up rubber bushing, while twisting the metal bolt sleeve until the bolt sleeve can be pulled out
2) Heat up/burn/cut out the rest of the rubber bushing
3) Take a sawzall and cut the metal ring lining, being sure to only cut the ring not the surround control arm (or whatever your working on)
4) Use an air hammer to pry up the metal ring, eventually it will give and pop out
Much easier because lots of people have sawzalls and air tools, and not many have presses. Good luck,

Re: Anyone have their own press?
Ask around locally, I am sure someone has a press hat you could use for little or no money.
Friend of mine works at a small engine repair shop. I just use that when I need a press, which isn't very often.
Or if you get one, you will be the guy with a press.
