I use the Bearing Race and Seal Driver Set to remove and install bearing racers, even bearings and seals. Sometimes the use of a press with the tool makes easier or a bolt and a nut with washers.

I couldn't agree more - every time some one says use a hammer it is best to consider whether you could use a press instead. Do a search for the threads initiated by dieseldan for home made pullers and presses that use threaded bar and washers

I've made a couple of threads my self with this type of approach and I like to use wood!
