Yup, need the special tool. But it's basically just two mandrels, one to
fit into the bearing shell and be pulled by a length of threaded rod, and
the other to hold the threaded rod centered in the front bearing opening.
Many decades ago I paid a local machinist to turn the bearing mandrel for me
on his lathe; and welded some nuts & flat washers to an old cam bearing to
make the front mandrel. I'd happily loan you those tools, but I have no
idea where they are; no doubt lost by now.
