I used a small bolt with a washer slid over it that just fit inside the bearing, inserted the bolt head first into the bearing. Shift it sideways to catch the edge of the bearing, then with another washer and nut, tighten the nut until it pulls against the end of the crank. Of course, it helped that the needles in my bearing were destroyed, leaving lots of room to insert the washer. You may be able to yank the needles out with a screwdriver to allow more room to work inside the bearing.
