Default Cam bearing install/removal tool?

I posted this in the tool section without any luck, figured I might have better luck in here.

I'm going to be installing a new set of cam bearings on a fresh build, so im looking for an install/removal tool to do it. Post up which ones you guys are using and how you like them.

I wasn't sure if there is an LS specific kit, or if I can get away with buying a universal kit?

Thanks

couldn't find a cost effective ls-specific tool so I made my own.

I was hoping to avoid making my own, but if it comes down to it, I guess I could. How long is your tool, it looks pretty short from the pictures?

I think the handle is 12". Could be made longer easily but I didn't feel like paying for the additional steel at the time. You need to install the #4 and #5 bearings from the back side of the block this way but it got the job done. If I were going to make another one I'd make the handle longer.
