Needle bearing removal

Does anyone know if the needle bearing removal tool from Harbor Freight will work on the driver’s side differential needle bearing removal? I’d rather have a tool that works for more than one very specific job than the ECGS tool.
Thanks and happy new year everybody.

I'm not sure if it works but there are quite a few people passing around the ECGS bearing removal tool so you wouldn't have to buy one at all.

 

I bought something similar in Amazon. The slide hammer was useless. To short and to light. The kit I bought had a bridge that let me pull the bearing by pushing against the diff housing.

This is the kit I bought:

$57 8MILELAKE Blind Inner Bearing Puller, Hole Remover Extractor Set, 16pcs Blind Hole Collet Bearing Race and Seal Puller Extractor Kit, Slide Hammer Tool Set

I couldn't get a slide hammer to pull it. Access was an issue with the large hammer, and my short hammer didn't have enough umph. I posted a pic in this thread with what worked for me

Where are these? I only saw one short one in buy/sell which I guess I dont have enough posts to reply to

This is it. It’s for removing the drivers side needle bearing on the clamshell. I used one of the loaner ones that was floating around here and it worked just fine.

These were the threads I watched to borrow one. Looking at them, they haven't been really active but you could pm the last poster offering one up.
