The tool is designed to fit in the center of the gimbal bearing, and push on the outer diameter of the bearing only while staying centered on the bearing while you hammer it in.
You aren't going to find them at an auto parts dealer. Cars don't use them. If you have a NAPA around that sells Sierra brand marine parts, Sierra makes the tools.
