I dont think my crappy autozone has one.

Go to autozone

you are looking for a "blind hole puller"

It is basically a slide hammer with an attachment.

I have the Mazda tool, and I'm in Harrisburg.

The Autozone tool I could get a hold of didn't fit right. Make sure you get the blind hole puller and not the pilot bearing puller. Oddly enough, the one not labeled pilot bearing puller is the one that sorta works.

The tool that Autozone has will not fit. I have tried it before. You could try using a simple spring loaded "T" that mount hooks to the ceiling. Just collapse it, insert it and put some force behind it.

I ordered the tool from Ray at Malloy on Monday.
Wish I would have known a guy in harrisburg had one
I guess having it around is a good idea anyway.
