Needle bearing removal question

I need to replace the lower right needle bearing in the beam. I'll replace both on that side since everything will be pulled apart anyway. The Bentley says to use a special VW tool (slide hammer) to remove the bearing. I have an old body repair slide hammer. Any tips on something I can rig up on the end of my hammer to tap that bearing out from the inside? Or perhaps there's another home solution for this?

An internal bearing puller works well some auto parts store loan them out . You can also use a big washer and cut it down oblong and attach it to a slide hammer and get them out that way works well on mica bushings also good luck

Heres a bus thread that shows you what Jeff is talking about with the washers.....

That's a very good thread looks just like my puller ENJOY

I didn't even think about finding an auto parts shop to rent/borrow the tool from. And I'm one that usually tells OTHER people to do just that
Oreilly's shows a puller on their site. If I can't borrow something like that somewhere, I'll go the washer route and use my little slide hammer. That should do the job.

Thanks guys!
