Agreed! I recently used John's post to replace my rear bearings. I found some more off-the-shelf parts that make it even easier - you don't have to fabricate anything.
The 2" conduit coupler fits perfectly against the inside edge of the bearing when you're pulling it, with the 1/2" floor flange pressing against the coupler.
I torqued everything into place and applied heat to the housing until the bearing "popped" (didn't take much), then it pulled out easily.
With the couplers removed, the 1" floor flange will press the new bearing right down to the hub.
