I want to buy a decent shop press for doing wheel bearings and suspension bushings. Perhaps transmission work in the future, if I get ambitious.

I checked out the Princess Auto 12 ton H frame press they had on sale last week, but decided to pass on it, as the press arm had a lot of lateral play in it (probably a good inch left and right of center), and it didn't seem like that'd be particularly good for bearing work... (the 20 and up didn't have any play in comparison...just cost way, way more)

So. Can anyone recommend a place to buy a 12 ton press? Is this enough tonnage for transmission work? Any other opinions on smaller/larger presses?

Thanks!
