You really need to remove the bearings and ring gear to be able to preheat the carrier enough to do this. If you left them in place they would be damged by the heat....and if they weren't, it wasn't hot enough.
I am still not in favor of the "right way", feeling that it is more work than necessary, when a proper spool is better anyway....but the shakey mess version, No way
BTW, the point of "hard to steer" is not about turning the steering wheel. It is about making the truck actually turn. A spool has a tendancy to "push" the vehicle in a straight line. Spools or even lockers in the front can be a real hand-full...litterally.

Thats what make open forums great, everbodys opinion.
I dont see how a Buggy or jeep moving at 3 MPH tops will see a "deadly" situation from a bearing failure and thats never happend to my Jeep in 5 hard years from a welded diff?????
Just because it doe's not work for you, it works for plenty of off road only truck, Jeeps and buggys
And I agree a spool/weld or even a locker in the front doe's plow steer, but with tire pressure around 2-3psi and Hydro steering I manage.
