I have done this without any special tool. Here is how I did it.
1) Remove Axle Hub Nut (I think you said you already have done this).
2)Removal of the CV Joint / Axle & Axle Stub: Disconnect the CV Joint at the trans. Using a stout hammer or Drill Hammer (mini sledge), drive the Stub and Alxe towards the engine until it is out. It helps to have a second pair of hand to hold the axle.
3) With the axle out, remove the stub from the outside CV joint.
4) remove the plate bolted onto the Trailing arm covering the bearing.
5) Heat the trailing arm. I did this by setting a halogen work light UNDER the arm pointing up at the area the bearing is in.
6) using a bunt rod or chisel or 1/2" socket extension(I used an old King Pin about 6" long and 3/4" thick) drive out the bearing from the back of the trailing arm. Work around the bearing. Mine took some wacking, but them came out. Just be patient and keep working them.

Tonight I will post again on how I got the new bearing in. I gotta run off to a meeting. More later.
