Re: Carrier shims

Pinion bearing-I usually pull the cage and rollers off, heat a single spot on the bearing and make a dent in it with the rounded part of a ball pain hammer, maybe hold that hammer head on the spot and strike it with another hammer so you dont miss.... then make another dent opposite to that one. Then the bearing usually cones off easier. The dent expands the bearing in those spots, sometimes it cracks and falls off. Be careful with the shims behind the bearing.
Use a soft punch, like brass, to work on the bearings in the housing.
