Not sure if you'd be interested, but there is a forum member who make and sells a puller/installer for $80.00 shipped. I just purchased one from him. Here is a link:

You don't need an install tool - use the end of the cam you removed. Go to the tool rental store and rent the puller. Did it on mine and so do others that know. Use plastic impact hammer on the install remember lettering is on the outside. Lube / soak bearings, place in baggie and store in freezer over night before installation, place on end of removed bearing and tap into place until seated. Easy as pie!

I won't rent them to you, but I will loan them to you. If you are interested PM me and I will give you the details. You will get the bearing removal and install tools, the gear immobilizer for removing and installing / torqueing the cam gears.

Use the correct tools. Tapping on a bearing race is asking for trouble. Sure, the bull in the china shop approach will seat the bearing, but when you understand the close tolerances inside the bearing race between it and the needles, you won't want to take a chance by blind tapping it into place. Continuing to "tap" the face of the race when the bearing is already seated lights the fuse for premature bearing failure.

The bearing installer tool mentioned is designed to seat those KoYo Torringtons to the proper depth and will not allow you to over-do it. Don't cheap out, use the correct tools.
