Removing 67 front wheel bearings

Anybody have info on the bearing puller to remove the front wheel bearings on a 67 Toro with disc brakes? Not sure if the GMC motorhome setup is the same; I have a 1 piece bearing and the motorhomes use the later 2 piece bearing I believe. Applied GMC sells a 2- piece clamshell puller for the motorhomes but not sure if it would fit mine? Any other ideas? Thanks

I would contact Jim at Applied GMC and talk to him about it. He's been quite helpful to me in the past

Thanks Otto. I’ll call him again tomorrow. When I talked to him last week maybe he didn’t understand my question when he said no special tools required. I’ll try to be more clear.

Jim at applied GMC is familiar with the later 69 and up 3-piece bearing. He very graciously looked into the 66-68 1- piece bearing like I have but it’s a different beast. There has to be somebody who has removed these bearings without destroying them. I know they can be cut and off with a torch but I’m looking for a non- destructive procedure. Anybody?? Thanks
