Gimbal bearing comes out pretty easily with a slide hammer.
The only thing a good mechanic needs in his tool box is a small hammer and big hammer.

Slide hammers work Ok if you get behind the bearing evenly. I've seen some DIY's make a mess using a slide hammer.

Could you post some pictures of the special designed alignment tool that you made?
