I don't know, but it's not much. I used a 6" vise to do mine the first
time. Didn't take a lot of force on the handle, so I'd guess a 1 ton arbor
press would probably do.
But if you're going to run out and buy one, I know I would rather have a
cheap 12 ton hydraulic press.

I did, however, use an arbor I made up for the purpose. Bought a chunk of
3/4" (I think) plain rod at Home Despot, then drilled & tapped the end for a
bolt so I could spin it in my drill press, and used a file to work it to
size. Result is ugly, but functional.
