Looks like the ones I made other than the driver end. One suggestion though...Don't use "all-thread" Thread a rod at each end or a simpler way is to take a rod, drill and tap the ends, and insert a long setscrew of the proper size in each and and bottom it out. A long threaded rod around bearings is just a pet peeve of mine. You may not nick a cam bearing, but you may use it for something else and can catch the edge of a seal or something with the threaded portion

One thing you can do to keep the bearing tool straight is to take a piece of plactic, nylon, or even aluminum and make a giude pluf for the front. So when you put the bearing on the cam tool, slide everything back, then slip the plug on and let it catch the front. Bore the hole thru the center to fit the diameter of you cam bearing shaft and turn the O.D. down to fit the front journal. This keep the tool in alignment and eliminates the chance of getting the bearing in crooked.
