Carrier bearing aka center support bearing-DANGER

I've always been a Napa fan, always thot they had the quality parts, and always have what we need for these trucks. I bought a center support bearing or 'carrier bearing' last week and installed it today. There are 2 types-the horseshoe style or I-loop style, I have the I-loop. Got it all installed and was snugging the last bolts in the rear u-joints...then "pop". The base of the support bearing just came off(the part where the 2 bolts go in) it just came off of the actual bearing !! After discussing it a moment, we thot-hmmm, what if this had happened as I was goin down the frwy?

After counting my blessings, took the driveshaft back out and welded the base back to the bearing housing. There was no damage, it just came off..........it wont come off again !
