Option A: Make your own: Harbor Freight and other discount tool suppliers sell bearing pullers. The puller is cheap but you need a piece behind the bearing called a bearing separater and a 6" pipe nipple cut in half to clamp around the shaft to apply pressure to the bearing properly. You might need $70 before you're done.
Option B: Get a price from a local engine mechanic to change the cutless bearing you provide. If you remove the fairing around the strut to remove the set screws and remove the prop and provide the new bearing, he already has all the tools and might do it for a 30 pack? Worth a try. A friend hired a pro to do it for $100 rather than screw with it himself and he felt it was worth not having to chase down the right tool. I think you could get a better price if you ask a mechanic working in the yard already.

Internet wisdom also says you can make your own tool, but I don't know if I can find something sized properly to push out the old one. If the yard has the tool I may pay them to do it.
