Carrier Bearing Replacement

Special Tools Required

Attachment, 45 x 55 mm 07MAD-PR90100

NOTE:

The bearing and outer race should be replaced as a set.
Inspect and adjust the bearing preload whenever the bearing is replaced.
Check the bearing for wear and rough rotation. If the bearing is OK, removal is not necessary.

Remove the carrier bearing (A) with a commercially available bearing puller (B), bearing separator (C), and stepped adapter (D).

Install the new carrier bearings using the attachment (45 x 55 mm) and a press.
NOTE:
- Press the bearing on until it bottoms.
- Use the small end of the attachment (45 x 55 mm) to install the bearings.
- Press the bearing on securely so there is no clearance between the bearing and the differential carrier.
