[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 12055718, member: 39344"] ^nothing. i have used one of the 12 ton ones for years. just make sure you grease the shaft once in a while. also if you start pressing on something and it doesnt budge due to rust buildup or such dont keep going at it. let it sit for some time in some pb blaster or thrust and then try again. people bend the frame when they use the full load and keep going. once you have pressure on the bearing/balljoint it just takes time for it to finally move, dont keep trying to force it and bend the frame. the 20ton can make it happen quicker and has a more beefy frame but for a Ford dealership we had 3 of the 12ton presses and never needed more. EDIT: we used ours for explorer wheel bearings, 8.8/9.75/9" bearings, balljoints on everything from a fiesta to f450's. no issues so far except for missing the little thing to tighten the pressure bleed screw. had to make my own out of a 2" piece of pipe crushed at the end.
