while rwc has a nice bearing kit for santa cruz closed link, it's expensive but you won't need a punch. I decided to get a kit from brearingprotools that only costed me $46 for my Hightower V2, it uses an expanding collet/punch to remove the bearings, you can pass through a punch from one side to the other to remove bearings and their threaded rod/drifts are small enough to press the bearings on both open and closed like. The RWC is a really nice kit, but for $46 and once a year tool you can't complain about the bearingprotools kit.
