Help fast, please

Replacing the carrier bearing on a 72 LWB w/2-piece D.S.
Would like to do it tonight, but I need the truck tomorrow.
Is it a press fit?
If so, maybe I'll wait.
Thanks

Talking

Uaually the driveshaft support bearing will come of with just some light taps. Soak it down with penetrant before starting. They are not really a press fit, but over time they can get a little sticky to slide off.

No, it is not pressed fit, break down the shat in the middle, take the bolt out the end of the yoke, spray it down with penatrating oil, and just beat if off, clean the splines up, real good, once old one is off, and the new one will slip right on.
