The bearing puller kits double as both pullers and press tools. Ive PCd my bagger wheels a few times and done bearings with the OTC kit (can't bring myself to do the Dyna LRS poop brown)....
But honestly how can a shop not use their press to install em? My personal HF press has plenty of room to get the wheel in there (minus tire installed) and I always use the press vs the tool to install bearings.

I wanted to change my bearings but the guy I trust was laid up so I bought a puller/installer kit. I read the instructions and watched YouTube. The videos and written instructions all advised to install the left side bearing first and insert it until it bottoms, install the spacer, then install the right side bearing. On my 2008 FXDF this resulted in both wheels being offset from their original positions. I bought new bearings and tediously inserted the left bearing so that the brake rotor(s) were PERFECTLY centered in the brake calipers. This is a long way of saying you should carefully measure the left bearing position and should confirm that the existing position places your rotors correctly.
