Removing this parking brake shoes is very fiddly. If I ever have to another bearing I'm going to try that route.

However, you know the SIR tool is a proven quantity, maybe you can get a loaner?
That OTC puller looks interesting, it may work without removing brake shoes which would be great! Anybody with any experience?
