Default Bearing Puller/Pusher

Anyone know if a guy can rent/borrow a bearing puller/pusher. I need to change out the front bearings on my Ford Escape.

Any recommendations. I can do the work but just need the specialty tool.

Thanks for any advice.

I've used proper ones but there have also been occasions where I fabricated my own from threaded rod, nuts and either angle iron or steel pipe. Some auto parts places rent the tools or you can try a normal tool rental shop.

PartSource has a loan-a-tool as well, from what I recall they had a decent selection of items.

Checked Parts Source and they have the hub puller but not a tool to push the bearing into the knuckle.

If a Ford guy might have something I could borrow or rent I would be very grateful. If anyone has a "guy" let me know. In Edmonton.

Check with Snowbird rentals in the west end. I rented a ball joint press replacement kit there for an F150 but it was a while ago.
