I have a hydraulic press myself, but I am not sure how to go about putting the whole assembly in there to press the hub in, as there is no room to pass the axle shaft between the support beams. I will have to look at this since now it looks like I have stripped threads on the axle and need to figure out what I'm going to do next. A new shaft is $529 from the local BMW dealership, or $341 from Tischer, or if I want to chance it, I can get a used one on ebay for $100. I am seriously tempted to go with another new one really, just to maintain an even level of maintenance.
