I have quite a few bearing pullers, so I use them, however this would be a good time to go over techniques, I have a 2005 specialized enduro back end that I use for testing my odd ball idea’s on.
From what I understand of it you can use a small screw driver and tap it around the circumference at different spots.
I used to do this about 4 years ago, all you need is a vice.
Standard bearings.

Why don’t we all just work together on the best way to do it.
One last thing once you check to make sure that the bearings are sitting flush, try and push them back out with your fingers. If you are able to push them out then they aren’t tight enough and the housing is worn.
Use some kind of sealant to take up the extra space!
