bearing puller?

hey guys, looks like I installed my rear abs bearing in the wrong direction. what method and/or tool have you used to remove it. I'm not concerned with damaging the bearing.
thanks

pit posse puller and installer is what i have and bought it off e-bay. once you install one of those bearings it needs to be tossed if removed.

thanks...yes...i'm definitely replacing the bearing.
looks like I can use a 7/8" concrete anchor to get it out. I'll post back if it works.

Georges garage makes a good puller set for installing and removing these. Concrete anchor may work. Don't reuse. It will be damaged once it's pulled.

I have the tool from George's Garage. I've used it a few times and it works great. They have many other good tools as well.

I made a puller out of a 16mm allen head bolt. I ground the head back on an angle and cut it down the middle. It worked perfectly.
