Press bearings out, Brighton area

[john2443]

Hi, does anyone know where I can get halfshafts and bearings pressed out (live axle), preferably near Brighton - my local garage doesn't have a press tall enough and the local vehicle engineering shop shut down years ago.

Haven't managed to get them done yet, but lines of enquiry so far - Sprabuild off Elm Grove, but their press isn't big enough and Colburns at Portslade.

Otherwise I'll be welding up a very long puller on Saturday afternoon!

Thanks for replies, having tried Sprabuild (it didn't fit under their press) and decided I couldn't get to Colburns easily because I'm at work when they're open, I spent an evening with some 2" angle, a hacksaw, arc welder and big bolt, made a puller and it all came apart easily.

Now waiting for seals to arrive and I can push it all back together!
