I've done both my rear bearings on my 2000S...

....without the SIR tool. The tool looks great but I went the path of removing the carrier and pressing out the hub and bearing.

I froze the bearing and did not need to heat the carrier.

I did not use a ball joint puller but if I had one that'd work, I would have. I had a helper lean on a pry bar on the top of the control arm while I hit the carrier with a hammer. You do have to smack it pretty good but the ball joint will just pop out.
