The "spider" gears are the small gears that roll around in the carrier with the side gears that the ends of the axle shafts go into. They are often called pinion gears but spider gears will help avoid confusion.Don't remove the carrier assembly. Work through the opening in it. There is a pin with a slotted screw or hex head. remove it. Then slide the shaft out. You can leave it in place enough to keep the spider gear from moveing. Remove the block from the middle. (later models don't have the block.) Then push the axles in & remove the C washers. Then pull out the axles.

I see. So the "carrier" is the A.K.A. pumpkin A.K.A. differential. The carrier bearing A.K.A. center support bearing isn't part of the carrier (ha!). I have to drain the carrier yet. I'll have a clearer understanding how it operates when I do. Thank you.
