Initially, we used a 20,000 ton press, but failed. Then we had to move up to a 80,000 ton power press to finally get the job done. But not to worry. The inserts I'm making don't require this pressing installation procedure. We had to press that piece out only to make the production molds. As mention on the previous post, installation for my engine mount inserts will be very easy and should only take ~30 minutes with normal garage tools. Cars with RTD brace will take about 10 mintues more.
