sway bar bushing removal. will this press work?

I'm about to change out my front sway bar bushings on my 99 f250. rather then trying to get to a shop with no truck and paying them $20+ to press out the old bushings. I was wondering if this cheapo would work for me? Thanks, Mike.

6 Ton A-Frame Bench Shop Press

My 10 ton press struggled to get those bushings out.
For $20....let a shop do it for you. You can drive your truck without sway bars.

I used my old factory block a 13/16?? Socket and a vice as a holding point and beat them out. Much cheaper and easier
