I bought a BMX style bottom bracket called a "Spanish" bottom bracket for a dirt jumper.

Instead of using a hammer and a block of wood, I would like to do it correctly with a press... however, I'm not sure what specs I should be looking for in the press?

How do I buy the right press for the job?

I know asking for specific products is against the rules, so if you could just explain the specs for what I should Google to find the right press.
