Either use an M12 bolt through the middle of the two sockets or use them as mandrels in your press.
Thanks Dave, I try to stay away from using sockets as press tools as they're very old (Kamasa) that were my great grandads so I'm a bit protective of them if only for sentimental reasons! I'm still very annoyed about the 2004 Bentley Continental GT I did a wheel alignment on that was so rusty it broke my 18 and 21mm sockets when the nuts cracked off with a bang.
