i need to press on a set of drivers, anyone in s.e. wisc have either an arbor press or a hydraulic press i could use? beer on me. i would just have a dealer do it, but i dont feel like paying $40 to have them pressed on crooked. :o|

find a machine shop.they might be cheaper then dealer.$40 is cheap if its a dealer.they want $100 here last time i checked.if nothing else send them up to me.
thanks for the offer. i looked online this morning and found an A-frame press at harbor freight for $79. i went to the store and they didnt have any. i went to the dealer to just get it done and the "kid" in the shop had no clue what extroverts were and said he would need a couple days and it would be $70. i just went to northern tool and bought a hydraulic press for $99. so if anyone in s.e. wisc needs some drivers pressed i can help you out!

are you sure that one will work ? you need some height.the 20 ton is what i have.$180 on sale at harbor freight.
i measured to make sure. it has a couple inches to spare, i just pressed all the old ones off. do you use any lube to press the new ones on or just go for it?

no lube unless you want some ? lol

what drivers you using ?
well, i was going to grease myself up, but thats another story. i have the doo 9 tooth extros. they look pretty nice!

if you measure from the splined end in 4 5/8" thats where the edge of doo driver will be and the other end measure in 2 3/4"
i got 4.45" and 2.45". then again the stock drivers werent even between the inners and outers. you set them up for 8 7/8" center to center?
