Look at the amazing info I found in the OEM service manual.

You can download that manual at this link.

What does the puller look like is there one similar to the one I need at an auto parts store ?

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.
