I welded a bracket to straddle the hub and used a CV puller to remove / replace the bearing with hub on car still.

That is a great suggestion that would help the OP who is too broke to buy the SIR Tool(aren't we all too broke for SIR tools?)
Timco - a photo of your welded up CV joint puller may help future diyers.
Here is a link to a Thread on the B90 Sir Tools puller with photos.More in google

Try the OTC hub Grappler,Hub Shark or generic alternative ?
rent from Autozone?Probably free if you buy some of the parts from them.

Harbor freight

I used a Harbor Freight to pull mine on the car, used a large bearing separator to pull the bub....never had to break down the hub carrier or have a realignment.
