Re: Carrier Bearing

the difference is because some are coil spring rear ends and some are leaf spring rears. when you remove the drive shaft and separate the two shafts you will need to take an open end wrench and grind it to be much thinner to get in between the drive shaft and the u joint.

also when the assembly comes apart you will or should have two dust shields. one on either side of that bearing. they are also important because they help keep the bearing inside the rubber cushion surrounding it. If they are not there, the movement of the drive shaft forward and backward may push the bearing out of the rubber cushion. this is more likely to occure in colder northern climates when the rubber becomes very stiff and inflexable.
