Hydraulic Press

[ASM993]

Hi. What sort of hydraulic press would I need to get if I want to pull out/press in suspension bushes? Machine Mart have them from 1 ton upto about 20 tons. I wouldnt have a clue which to get but obviously dont want to end up with one that isnt forceful enough . Perhaps its slightly "how long is piece of string" but if anyone has experience perhaps you could let me know what you use.
Cheers
Will

I bought a 12t press for pressing out bushes but subsequently used it for bearings and even flaring brake pipes!

Being a perennial cheapskate I bought something like this (less than £100 delivered to my door...) and it worked just fine

I have one that - other than being 10 tons - is the spit of that one in the pic.
Done plenty of bearings & ball joints with it & no problems.
