[Vwdiesel] 'H' is for horrible...'M' is for miser

[Nate Wall]

I paid for a bearing pressing too, once. With what I
paid, I could have bought that press Roger Brown
bought from Harbor freight. I paid $85 per side and
that included the ($35?) bearing!, So I figure about
$100 labor. Only in the Washington, DC area! AND I
TOOK THE HUBS TO THEIR SHOP!!!! I asked if they used a
"hydraulic press", "Yes" was the response, and I
pictured a huge press driven by an electric hydraulic
pump. Then I saw it, a small press w/ a hand pump! If
I ever have to do it again, I buying a press.
