Carrier bearing?
Last night I took down my rear dirve shaft, to install a new carrier bearing, and some u-joints. I got the u-joints out thanks to my cut-off wheel, but couldn't get the bearing to budge more than 1/32 of an inch or so. I got the dust cover off, but not the bearing.
Do I need to take it to NAPA? Is there another way other than a BFH because I've tried that. Service manual says to use a slide hammer which I don't have. The spline is 6 inches long, I don't have a puller with arms that long. thanks ahead of time for the ideas.

Re: Carrier bearing?
Took it down to NAPA over lunch, cause my wife wasn't home to talk to.

Re: Carrier bearing?
I always say a hammer has no buisness around a hunk of metal that spins 3000 RPM... you wouldn't do it to your crankshaft.

Re: Carrier bearing?
Yeah, if you've got it that far, a driveshaft shop wouldn't charge much labor to pull the yoke off the carrier bearing.

Re: Carrier bearing?
Yeah...I hate carrier bearings. I just had a 1 piece aluminum shaft made for my truck...had to modify the crossmember for it to clear, but all is well. Saves alot of trouble.

Re: Carrier bearing?
Dude, something else is wrong then.
The carrier bearing should take all the power you can feed it. Your u-joints would break,or your shaft would twist and break before the carrier bearing would be afected by engine output. |

Re: Carrier bearing?
Yep, Andy's right. But I still hate the hassle of trying to figure out what the problem really is when a simple solution is just a $150 1-piece dl.
Btw, I'll be putting mine up for sale if anyone wants one. It works perfectly, but I just don't need it anymore. I can give more info to a potential buyer-please contact me via PM.
