Question Strength of hydraulic press required ?

Want to buy a press to do the bushes on my car. Would a 12T press (£75)cope or should I pay for the extra (wasted ?) capacity of the 20T (£140) ?

10t should be fine biggest pain is getting the right tooling to push the bushes and support the arms.

Vice would be far too fiddly.
12T it is then, plenty of old sockets should do the trick. Will have to give a bit of thought about how to support the links / arms.

Thks,
