Thanks for the help guys. I managed to get the carrier bearing inserted earlier today without too much difficulty. I ended up installing it in the orientation that randy500 suggested. Still not 100% sure about that ring. I think clearance between the debris shield and the bearing/rubber would have been okay without it but I didn't see much downside to adding it in anyway -so I did.

Thanks for the suggestion Stingray. I did mark everything to get it back together the same way but in my case probably doesn't matter as the front shaft is going to get shortened 12 inches so will need a balance anyway.

Thanks again for the input!
