I think I use four different plates for install and removal but with the right profile you could flip it over: the key is you have to only push on either the inner or outer race when pushing so you don't see damage the new bearing.
I always push on the outer race when removing so I'm not pushing on the bearing race (which is curved and will push outward to tighten the fit). You wouldn't have to so could get away with fewer plates.

andrewwynn, pretty much like i thought. The only part I'm uncertain about is the clearance from the back to "pull" the bearing out of the hub, by putting force only on the outer race. This "disk" needs to be a precise fit - resting on the outer race only but still clearing the bore that the bearing fits in.
