Bearing question

[Rob Mocas]

Thank you Bernard.  I'm hoping to rent something that will work or resign
myself to the shop press.  
Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.
Rob

I'm thinking it is unlikely you can build one of these for a front wheel
bearing removal out of plumbing and low grade parts.  In my experience, the
bushings almost fall out and only need a good nudge. 
The front wheel bearings on my 5ktq took almost everything my 20 ton shop
press had to offer.
