Re: carrier berings
Once you remove the bearing caps (mark them so you get them back on the exact same) you might need to use a pry bar to persuade the carrier out of the housing. To remove the bearings from the carrier you will need to use a press, if you want to save them. If you don't want to save them, then you can carefully cut them off with either a cutting torch, plasma, or a grinder with a cutoff wheel and a hard wheel.

Re: carrier berings
the carrier assembly came out easier than I thought,now that everything is out but the pinion gear the bering is making a grinding noise.I think that i am over my head in this rear end, wondering if this is more trouble than its worth.Wonder if i would come out cheaper to buy another rear end.if so what is the latest year that would fit with the least amount of problems?

Re: carrier berings
What year of truck do you have, and what differential is in it now? Is this a 2wd or a 4wd?
