Autozone and/or Advance Auto (Pep boys) etc. all rent tools for "free." You'll need to basically buy it first, and just return it when you're done. It's usually around a hundred bucks for this tool. They know that's what you'll do and they OK with that. It just keeps poeple for stealing them. It'll take you a half hour to switch each one out. Most of that time will be spent getting the spindle off, and figuring out the spacers and cups configuration of the tool to do the pressing. Be sure to oil the threads of the press first. The instructions will probably say don't use an impact wrench, but I haven't broken a press yet. You choose, a regular wrench will work fine too.

The uppers will take longer, as you need to grind and punch out the rivets, like I posted in your other thread. Uppers are harder than lowers, IMHO.

My uppers have been changed before so they have the 4 bolts on top.
