560 wheel bearing removal?

I have the rear hubs disassembled and just received new wheel bearing kits for both sides. I have the races removed and the new ones installed the inner bearing is off (pretty easy) however the outer bearing (on the spindle) is giving me a problem. I found a MB bearing puller but it costs $400.00 so that is not an option, has anyone removed this bearing, if so how did you do it? I am sure it has been discussed but the searches produced very little info. So how does one remove a rear wheel bearing the McGiver way? In addition how does one check end play? I have an Indy that could do the job but I am so far along I would like to finish it myself; I have a press so installing the new bearing will be a snap.
