Alto Mare,  how exactly do you go about pressing the handle into the Azek?  I mean other the obvious using a press?  Thanks,  Joe.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Here is the beast —

Just need to mount a Jacobs chuck for a nail set or pin punch — and it should remove a stubborn pin from a crank, gearsleeve, or gear axle.

Hey Fred,  I looked at that exact press today and didn't buy it when I noticed that there is only about 4" of working space beneath the ram.  How will you be able to put a chuck on there and still have room to work?  Even without a chuck,  a punch on the end of the ram will leave you with no room left either.   Can you post some photos of what you end up doing?  Thanks, Joe.

Yes, I just need to modify the lower and secondary bracing and crossmembers — plus shorten the ram.

Might take a few days because of other ongoing projects that need completion first.

And I will post pics when done.

Best,

Ok Fred,  some photos of what you have done would be great.
