Trucks apart part 2!!! HELP

So I took off old axle seal with a slide hammer and 3 jaw puller, easy enough about 5 whacks the seal pops out and the disk fall off the DRUM, now I need to have it pressed back on

I have a 6 ton shop press (cheap harbor freight bottle jack and a steel push pin)

Can I do this or do I need to find someone.

I'm putting away the tools for the night, it's gone from bad to worse on an easy 1 hour job according to all you experts

Thanks again.

"easy 1 hour job" Don't you love those. Almost everything seems to work that way the FIRST time. The second time it turns into a 30 min job I would think that you would be able to use your press. A friend of our family has a homemade press that is used when something needs to be pressed and I honestly dont know what it is rated for. I have rear drum brakes so I am not familiar with your axle. Good luck with it.
