Usually called a pilot bearing puller
A good one is around $ 100 Aus
Cheap ones the legs that grab the bearing are cast so break the first time you use it on a bearing that is anything tighter than a hand fit .

I have this set. Works good
I looked into that set or similar set and I didn't like the reviews of the pullers breaking. Here I have been using the HF one with fairly good luck. Mostly pulling deck bearings.

I use grease to pop out blind bearings
For spindles I use the air hammer / chisel with a very long punch ( rivet setter )
They just fall out with 10,000 tiny taps a minute
Only down side is it took me 5 years to nut it out

Just how are you just using grease to get the bushings and open needle bearings? Can see maybe the closed end ones.

Tried the grease and wet bread thing and then bought the tool. I'll go with the tool.
