Need a press

Anyone know a good place to get a wheel hub and bearing pressed? The maxima should officially disappear this week and I'm helping my friend that's buying it fix it. So, I have brand new hub and bearing that needs to be pressed and not 100% sure where to take it....

Yea, I was just looking for a shop, but hell. The max is a 95. The 95 through 99 should all be the same.

Let me know! And when could I bug you for this and will you need to charge me or will beer suffice?

lol.... nice... and yes, love the 4th gen... mine just doesn't love me anymore

I've got a DIY on there for the power steering pump (HORRENDOUS PITA)....

So you basically just used a jack and some make shift ring to push the bearing out?
