... I have a bench vise that I really like and am hoping to be able to find another one of the same type:- http://s211.photobucket.com/albums/b...ent=ViseS1.jpg I'l have to go and ask my wife. LOL. I broke one that looked a lot like that a few years back that was on the workbench she had out in the garage when we got married. (I'm not kidding.) I think she got it from her dad who was an engineer for GM Hydramatic. I broke it using a 6 foot cheater bar to try and press out a U-joint before I got my hydraulic press. Seriously though I'll ask her if she recognizes it or knows who made it. |

If you can't persuade a u-joint cup into place easily by hand, it's kinked in the assembly or a needle is in the way. You won't compress a needle bearing and it will break your vise. I used to use the old long-fiber bearing grease on them, to stick the needles firmly to the cup, then pump the joints full of good moly grease before installing them on the vehicles. My $22 Chiwanese vise from HF is still plugging along, 35 years later. I do use cheaters on occasion, too, but only 2-footers.

Press out, not press in. And a press fit one. No clips.

I never had any problem pressing them in. My $22 Chiwanese vise from HF is still plugging along, 35 years later. I do use cheaters on occasion, too, but only 2-footers.

They are actually Urethane tires (aka Airfree Tires, solid tires) which are on 20" (406mm) rims. I ride Airfree Tires most of the time because I am a 'Car-Free' person and I despise getting flats.
