Wow....sounds like you are set up and ready to go. Nice into, sounds like you are a bit of a jack of all trades. As far as the pumps instead of using a press would it be easier and faster to heat the seal up with a torch,expanding the al and knocking them out with a hammer and chisel?

I have experimented with a 20 ton press with an air over hydraulic ram. The results, believe it or not, we're less than satisfactory. Let's see what the other SMF people recommend...

Heat it up and throw it in a log splitter, (rented or borrowed.)

Thanks much for the reply. I don't know. I have acetylene torch, vise, punch etc. but would need to securely setup pump each time, get pump hot & while hot smack the punch with my hammer strongly, straight on & reliably. I was thinking the 1 ton arbor press with about a 6' to bottom and 5" throat would be simpler. Put the press on my work bench, place pump in correct position and apply 1 ton pressure on the pin. I just don't if 1 ton is sufficient or that matter if that's the correct way to do it. But heating and smacking every one seems like more work.
FYI; Grizzly & or Harbor Freight tools both advertise a bench mounted 1 ton arbor press for bout $60.

Put a piece of rail road iron on the ground and hit it with a sledgehammer. Heat is not nessecery nothing is faster

I've never had any success with arbor presses other than to push new bearings into nice clean holes. They always seem to be a ton or two short of what I need to get something apart.
I second Brasscatcher's suggestion. Nothing stands up long to the blue nosed dragon and a sledgehammer!! And it has lots more uses than pretending it is a press!!
By the way, welcome from the sticks of Southeastern BC. Another guy too young to retire, too old to easily get back into the workforce.
