Save yourself an hour of hell and possible damage to the eccentric shaft and just get the tool.

Yeah I also went to Autozone and borrowed the pilot bearing puller and slide hammer it was little to big to fit in the bearing so I filed the end of the puller just a bit they never noticed it worked just fine
