It sounds like your talking about the drive shaft??? I'm kinda confused. I'm referring to the spider gear carrier inside the axle housing not the carrier bearing on the drive shaft.
I read it as you were trying to get the pinion gear out of the rear end housing. Sorry if I miss understood.
To get the drive shaft off, yes unbolt the drive shaft from the yoke, drop the carrier and move the drive shaft out of the way. Honestly you might not even have to unbolt the carrier, the slip joint may have enough travel to let it separate at the yoke.
