Default Puller for Boxster rear hubs?

I have a loose rear wheel bearing so need a puller to get the hub off. Anyone know where I can rent or borrow one? If nothing is available I will fabricate an adaptor for my 3-arm puller. I am not ready to disassemble the rear suspension to put the upright to in a press (which I don't have anyway), so I want to do it on the car.
Thanks in advance

Not being able to find a puller I had to make my own. Pulled the hub this morning and half the bearing came with it... the grease was totally dried out.

Nice job! Looks like we are working in synch. Let me know if you want to borrow the slide hammer next time!

I was thinking about using a slide hammer, but was looking for a way to avoid subjecting the suspension to the hammer blows. I came up with this setup that allows a nice smooth pull with my 3 arm puller and the forces are transferred directly to the hub carrier. (the bungee cords are to help during installation of the puller... and please ignore the horrible welds... )



Boy is your suspension clean!

Driver side completed.

Replaced the ball join pins on both sides while I was in there:
