Axle bearing puller tool, wich is it??

Pull both axles and slide a long pipe through from the opposite side. Hit it with a hammer and the bearing will come out.
 
heres what i do for install and removal. Big socket, extension, (to keep the pole on the socket) and pole like previously stated. Hammer away.

Lacking a puller, have ued a few other "tricks" to get outer wheel bearings out of the axle tube..first I removed all the "logs" or rollers and then I took my arc welder and ran 3 short beads on the remaining "shell" of the outer race,then let it cool,and after it does,it will have shrunk several thousandths and can be wiggled out by hand or using a screwdriver easily..just be careful not to weld it onto the housing,all you need is a small spot weld in the center of the race..this works well on pinion bearings too,so the outer one can be replaced without taking the whole diff apart..

A cuttin torch can be used too,the bearing shell will cut quicker that the housing,being hard steel..I have also used a dremel with a cut off disc to carve a slot in the outer race,then smack it with a sharp cold chisel,it'll split the race and let it be removed easily..
