it also doubles as a BB cup press.. some careful hand alignment is required.

and i always have a decent 2x4 trim piece and my Mac deadblow around, if needed.

i'm amazed that no one has mentioned using a bearing/race/seal installer of the correct size.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/19393832361...Bk9SR4Ce1s6uYg
