Question Looking for a Machine shop recommendation...

Alright, I need to press the bushings out of my aluminum control arms I just got. Anyone know a good machine shop in the sac area that has experience with bushing-type press jobs? The first on my list to try is the closest, the Riebes machine shop off Auburn... Other than that, not sure.

Ideas?

Well Paul, despite all his valiant efforts, just did not have the right equipment for the job (Thanks again for trying!)

So, I ran over to Riebes, and the machine shop there said "sure, no problem" and they will be done by 2pm for $20!
