Hi all
I know this is a fairly simple project, but was still hoping to get some tips on how to get the pressed on carrier bearing off the driveshaft. I would just drive it off from the front side if it wasn't for that cup on the drive shaft in the way. I checked out youtube. Not much there for our trucks. It's not all rusty and crusty, but is most likely the original and may come off hard.

-Remove the metal and the rubber and pull off with a long puller.
-Remove the outer bearing ring and carefully cut 2 grooves as deep as possible on the inner on 2 sides ( do not cut into the driveshaft!) Hit one of the cuts with a chisel and the ring should break and can be pulled of easily.
That would be my approach. Also swearing and beer is involved in this process.
