I think any bearing removal tool will be fine. I use the motion pro set. They all basically work th same, by putting a plug in the bearing. Then you use a rod with a tappered end and slide it into the groove on the plug and tap it in place to "spread" the plug. Then you tap the bearing out. Some bearing you have to hit harder than others. Becarful on the cases, they can break pretty easy if you get it in a bind and start knocking the piss out of it.

 

To put it back in use the plug and tap it in place until it bottoms.
