Nice link.  ;D
I have been wanting to get the bearing puller, but if I can make specialty tools inexpensively, I am always a fan of doing that instead of spending the money.

I'm all about DIY tools, but seems like that bolt would break in a couple uses. Here is a $6 tool we use at the bicycle shop for cartridge bearings. Works the same way with a flat blade screwdriver. It's great!

a punch and a hammer are all you really need.

 That first one, if you decide to use it;
 Drill and tap the head end of bolt, then countersink with an 82Degree countersink. Then slit it, and use a countersunk allen head to do the spreading.. Could use a cross hole on the other end of bolt to help hold while tightening..
