I only needed to press out some bushings on a not flat part so I had no problems. But other people have mentioned the compression issue. I looked into it as as best I could figure out was that these magnets could handle 1100 N/mm2 which is about 160,000 psi. But if you had some point or raised area against the magnet maybe it could break even pressing out a bushing.

I am going to try to break one of these to find out. Stay tuned for another vid, maybe next weekend.
