If mr Pdwight went the press route to begin with he would not be in the situation he is in . I understand that we need to get things done with the least amount of expense possible and the press will do that .

The way he tried to do this was never going to work. If he borrowed, or rented, the SIR tool, he would have been done a long time ago.

I have both a large press and the SIR system, and the press rarely gets used because it simply takes too much time and creates additional work in the process.

I will eventually get this done, at least the car is locked in my garage out of the weather. I probably should have gone with a SIR tool to begin with....but after the first of the year and property taxes and being out of work for 4 months this summer ....well money is tight.

I will try heat next and see, I have a very good high end heat gun that is very controllable...I am really trying to avoid a realignment as the only shop that does it right here locally charges $400 + for that.

Did you look into renting the B90?

Where ? , the threads I saw for renting were all 2 to 5 years old

I would check with local shops that rent automotive specialty tools. Not everyone can afford or even justify owning the full B90 Master set at nearly $600, so it is good rental candidate.
