Piece of cake

I put the shop press to test by swapping out the rusted and worn out wheel studs with new studs. From start to finish, this task only took 5 minutes with the new press. The press worked great and got the job done.

To support the extraction (and later insertion) of the studs, I used sockets to support the surrounding area under pressure by the press. The studs came out smoothly with the exception of one stud that had become rusted on over the years and came out with a loud bang. Insertion of studs was just as easy.

This picture shows the rust and grime from the stud that came out with a bang.

With new wheel studs all in place...
