Crank bearings

Pictures of your Bottom bracket type would help with the removal advice there. Crank puller is this.

I recommend replacing Bottom bracket with a cartridge style if it does not have one now. You will need to measure your spindle length.
As Elmore pointed out, if this is a one time deal you may want to go to a shop. The new Bottom bracket would be around $25 and the removal tool around $15 and the installation tool around $15. But I am the type of person that if the lbs price is comparable to owning a tool price, I opt to own the tool and do work for other people to get my money back. That has worked well for me for 30 years.
There are two kinds of people in the world, "Those who help themselves to people, and those who help people!"
