Pretty much this. You can drill a bunch of holes into the rubber then burn them out, but a 20 ton press will make it a quick job. Sometimes scary when they let go!Originally posted by 93formulalt1 View PostDo you have access to a hydraulic press? If so, that's by far the easiest way. Any other attempts will result in frustration and anger. haha

Frustrating road ahead.
I've had my 20 ton press jump off the shop floor when they pop. I should probably bolt it to the floor
