most parts store rent those for free with a deposit, but in all likely hood they don't have perfect sizes in which case you might be able to find something around your house that may fit or at a local hardware store to do the bearing extraction.Here's a picture of you engine compartment fusebox as per the manual

here's a example:
As someone that has been on this forum actively sense October or so. Reading the threads I do know that those R50 and R53 have been know to have battery dead situations associated with power steering. And or power steering issues that are associated with electrical problems. NOW the is probably about 5 people that share classic type symptoms if you want to count electrical problems and battery problems as the same. Maybe 1 other person that has a battery problem the others electrical issues. They Say in there problems in almost all of them somewhere in there threads mention the Electric fan for the power steering, but also mention somewhere to change the power steering pump out when you do that. And as to what actually solves there problems in the end none have mentioned any of it.
One of the last people in the thread that had a problem there abouts is this Mini Cooper member.
That I can think of.
Mystery flat battery (working fine) heavy steering now 😭
If you locating the sound coming from the ABS unit
Then that would probably be the item that needs to be replaced. or at least a good starting point.
