Straighten the press out and weld the frame up. You won't be trying to separate the cluster gears again. It that press won't take something apart it likely doesn't come apart. One problem guys like me have is that the things I learn will likely not be used again. Build it, fix it and I'm off into the unknown again.
One time on my other '65 C20, it ate another center bearing, for some reason it liked to do that. Anyhow, it did it an hour from home, so while we waited for our ride to come get us, I removed the driveshaft. The next morning Pop put the shaft in the press at his work, to press off the center bearing. He was up to 9 tons when it finally popped loose! I was going to try it in the field with a ball-peen-hammer I had. I would still be there if I tried that, and that was back in the mid-late-nineties...lol...
