Sometimes it is worth investing in a fairly specialised tool just for a few uses though - I've done that quite a few times (things like coil spring compressors and motorcycle chain riveters come to mind). I've found that if I buy the cheaper (normally either Chinese or Indian manufactured) items they are made well enough to last a lot of occasional use and cheaper than paying a garage for even just 2 or 3 jobs. I'm thinking that if I ever changed all the bushes front and back on the RB it would be worth paying £90 for a press.

Or fire up your welder and make one from a 5T bottle jack! I'd suggest mounting the bottle jack at the bottom so it presses upwards, not conventional i know but there are obvious advantages.
