Like most things, it's easy when you have the right tools. This tool is called a "cam bearing puller/installer". As the name suggests, its a dedicted tool. I would guess that if you were to do this about ten times it would pay for itself. So I would just get a shop to do it.

But why are doing this anyway? Cam bearing almost never wear out. They only time they get changed is when the block is hot tanked, as it kills bearing material.
