    Help - Need a machine/press shop around Portland, OR

    Well I was planning on getting on having my CA bushings pressed at Napa today, however, I just found out that the machine shop is closed on Sundays ( I guess their new marketing strategy is to only sell to the unemployed...). But anyhow, I need to find a place around Portland that can do the bushing press asap. Does anybody know of any good ones?

    Or can anybody tell me how to press them myself?

    Can't you rent a press from Advanced Auto parts for free?

            I couldn't find a place that rented 6-ton presses, so I drove down to Corvallis (150 mile round trip) and Jordan pressed them in at his work.

            Jordan = teh shit! Thanks man!

                My parents live in Sherwood and all of my tools are there. I was replacing the front control arms, tierods, motor and transmission mounts.
