Auto parts retail stores rant. :puker:

Here in B.C we have Lordco,which is strictly in B.C. The manager is a good friend of mine,plus was lead hand in a wreckers for 16 years.This guy can make anything fit anything. His nickname is Macgiver! Sorry that this doesnt help you,but good partsmen are worth more than good mechanics IMHO!!

As far as looking for a hydraulic press,I guess mail order might be you best option in a remote area.Harbour frieght,JC witney etc.
