I fashioned a make-shift puller. With an 8-point socket just big enough to span the bearing, a bolt through a fender washer and socket and the bearing with a nut threaded on the end (back of the bearing), and another nut on top of the fender washer. I screwed down the nut against the washer. The bolt pulled the bearings out - easy peasy!

Then I pressed in a Dorman freeze plug with a little JB Weld to seal the hole. If I still have the little rig, I'll snap a pic and post it. - Pretty simple tho - a #6 machine screw about 2-1/2" long, a socket, a fender washer, & a couple of nuts.
