I had my auto machine shop press mine for me. They charged $5 apiece and did a good job. He said the tool I supplied him to press (from the vendor) was not hardened and mushed out under the 30 ton press, he used his hardened tool.

I had one stripped stud. I bought a bag of studs and the tool to do the job from Snyders. I took the studs and tool to a local machine shop and the guy was done in about 10 minutes. He said it took about 26 tons to press it in and everything worked fine. He didn't even charge me. He just asked me to bring the car over some time so he could see it!
