When we had to do one at the shop we made one up out of scrap parts. Basically a big socket (to push the bearing out) a long threaded rod with the right size nuts to keep putting pressure on the socket. It worked okay, not the best but its an idea if you decide to make something up. I looked earlier ours is gone believe the rod broke needed to get a bigger one.

Make sure you put the bearing in the right way. We had a car come that was at another shop and they put the bearing in backwards.
