Yet another DIY wheel bearing question

I have removed the spindle from my front wheel. The rotor dust shield is integrated as a part of the spindle. How do I press out the bearing without destroying the dust shield? Is there some sort of adapter or special arbor plate or specific tool that I will need? I haven't noticed that info in any of the threads, everyone says they pressed them out but don't get into how they did it without bending the dust shield. Thanks.

Get a piece of metal pipe, use a clamp, or build a bracket using the caliper mounting points. Not sure how other people have done it without searching. (I realize you said you have already searched. Keep looking or just go forward and make it work.)
