LOL

Are you trying to give him a hard time for using the right tools to do a job? Sure a mill or drill press could be used for light press duty, but if you have the right tool available, why not use it?

I have a small arbor press at home. How much force is required to do this?

Exactly.

it should be noted that the Comp Cams trunnion bearing instruction manual does not specify the type of press to be used.

Very little force is required for this installation; I used a quite small arbor press while installing mine and had no issues at all. Short money, easy installation with the included tools (plus a deep socket or other random piece hanging around your cellar).

I don't have a business nor a drill press! But I do have a mill and a lathe! I did my trunion upgrade with the mill but I can also do it with the lathe. But the mill is infinitely easier since I don't have to balance the parts other than centering it. Out of the two, mill is my favorite. Besides milling, I used it to compress recycle cans, breaking bead off motorcycle tires and such, terrific mechanical advantage.

I did not want to make assumptions, but its all good!
I bought my arbor press for personal use. Although, I can assure you that Texas Speed does have a drill press!

Right on Jake!

No disrespect intended, just discussing about the tools used, as others are on subject and made clear their view with tool/technique choice! I always hope to learn something from discussions or hope I have contributed something also.

Naturally, we have to make do with whatever our resource and experience!

I hope I have not come across as giving you or anyone a hard time!
