junkyardjohn: you mean that big "C" clamp press (red) that's welded together with the big screw? I got one of those at Harbor Freight and stripped the nut out trying to get my U-joints out! Piece of crap if you ask me.

I'm looking into doing this too. I've never done a rebuild before, but I know where to come for help. I'll be bugging all of you so get ready...
