Default Anyone in Raleigh area with a bearing puller

Need to change out a front wheel bearing. Anyone care to lend a hand? I hate to go to dealer or spend money on tool for one time use. I'll pay in cash or beer. You name it.

didn't think about that. Will they work with a front wheel bearing? Only need to pull one side out to replace with a non ABS bearing. All the auto bearing pullers I've seen have big fingers that won't fit between the bearing and the sleeve spacer

My work ended up having the tool so I did it there. Took less then one minute to remove. For the record, Raging Bull HD wanted to charge $130 dollars to remove one bearing. Honda shop said $50, and What use to be Jocky Cycles and now Imperial said $20
