Any 1 got pics of a home made Muncie press?
 

Guys,
I need some samples or ideas of how I can rig up a steel box frame with a hole at the top so I can use a hydraulic floor jack to press out/in 1st and 2nd gears on a Muncie if needed. Any ideas or pics of what you've made would be appreciated. I know if the steel beam in my basement was lower I could rig something on that but there's got to be an easier way besides going to your local engine builder. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

I will post a pic of my homemade press using a 20 ton bottle jack. I did use my bridgeport mill to drill the holes though.

Here is my home made press. The sides are 8" C channel but the whole thing is only 18" wide. Initially, I built it for pressing bearings from shafts and gears but now I wish I would have made it a minimum of 24" wide to accept larger items. The ones that they sell at Harbor Freight etc are wimpy by comparison.
