Trying to make myself a bit of a bearing press tool, need a nut and bolt around an M16 diameter by around 250mm long, been looking online and some people are taking the piss asking about £40/ £50 for that size, any idea where I can pick it up cheap, either online or any shops around the b/ham area ? |

If it's large diameter you are looking for then think plumbing supplies more than engineering old fashioned 1" pipe was dirt cheap and the thread cutter to go with it. Don't know if there is a metric equivalent or if its only repairing old stuff but I have used it for clamps and other heavy projects in the past. |

I was looking at tap and die sets they are surprisingly cheap, I remember giving one away years ago thinking I would probably never use it lol, I have Emailed a local engineering ferm, lets wait and see what price they come back with, if they can be bothered to take on an order of one bolt, nut, and a couple of washers lol

"What are you wanting to press bearings onto (or into)?
"
well I did a rear wheel bearing on my sisters fiesta last weekend, I got the old one out using a bub puller but had to use a lump of wood and a big hammer to smack the new one in, not a job you do very often, so I thought I don't really wont to spend the money on a full bearing puller tool set, I have seen clips on youtube of people doing it with a big bolt and a few spacers and using socket the right diameter to push the bearings in. |

"Could you not use some M16 threaded rod and 2 nuts?"
This is generally what I use along with a few washers. I've done all manner of things such as wishbone arm bushes and wheel bearings. |

"Thunderbolts check website.
Will the threaded bar be to soft tho? "
Mmm I have seen it done before, I guess it depends on how stubborn the bearing is when you try getting it out, I dare say the thread might strip off. |
