Carrier Bearing Replacement

Special Tools Required

Installer Attachment, 45 x 55 mm 07MAD-PR90100

NOTE:

The bearing and the outer race should be replaced as a set.
Inspect and adjust the carrier 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) using a commercially available bearing puller (B), a bearing separator (C), and a spacer (D).

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