Yeah, you need a C-clamp.
LCA's for example...out...

If that doesn't work, I'll throw you a bone. Ship them to me and I'll take care of it at work. Just cover shipping to me, and back to you. I'm in NJ
I know there's a few guys on here who can vouch that I'm not going to jack your parts. Just looking to help since I have a press

I can vouch for morgan... he's good people.

If you're close to Dallas I can get them pressed for you as well. I know half the board can vouch for me as well.

AHA! the c-clamp is an awesome idea I would've never thought of that. Thanks for offering to do it for me but my rolla is my daily so I can't wait for shipping and what not. Ill try the c-clamp and see how that works.

you can always go to a Goodyear or Firestone, most have presses and will press them out for a fee... NTB as well.
