HD carrier bearing. The odd one. - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I got it all back together and went out for a test drive. Success! It is nice and smooth. I even through in a new u-joint at the trans slip joint. If I have to do this again, I will probably try flipping the bracket like you guys suggested. I didn't even look at that while I had it apart.

I hope this thread helps someone out in the future!

I used the same Neapco bearing in my truck and it has been working great.

My original one the rubber had shrunk and it just rattled around in there in addition to the bearings being whacked.

Hopefully the info here will help other people find the replacement part rather than having to cobble together a different style mount.

How long ago did you get it and where did you source it?
