Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I've been frustrated by my poor success at removing frozen bearings and rusted together parts. The local Harbor Freight store has these 6 Ton A-Frame bench shop presses that sell for about $70. Is 6 tons enough force for most tasks? Right now I am trying to remove an auger impeller from a snowblower and it is rusted on. I've tried soaking it in BP blaster for weeks, heating it up with a propane torch, and pounding away. Someone told be to try a "press" so I found this device, but to be honest I have no familiarity with such a tool:
"Super strong A-frame design is one of the best on the market. Accurate to within thousandths of an inch. The bed adjusts in 3-1/2'' increments."
Working distance: 2'' to 4''
Width between channels: 10-1/2''
Overall dimensions: 30" H
Weight: 55 lbs.
ITEM 1666-4VGA

Seems like it might be due to Evapo-rust.  I thought of using it in the past but there were possible issues.  One was the lifting of old rust which I thought might still jam the two pieces.  The other was the metal being converted to the black hard form which I thought might bond the two pieces making it harder to get off.  I have a few machines with auger and wheels rust locked.  Map gas heat with banging was no help.  I use Evapo-rust on everything so will give it a shot.
