hatcity Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Looks like I need to change it. can move it about 1/8 inch by hand.Looks like: remove U-joint, pull large nut, slide off yoke, slide off bearingreverse process. Will change out u-joint at the same time.Is that it? is there more to it? Torque for the nut?Have the tools...ambition is questionable Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36634-changing-carriercenter-bearing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
maint1 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 You got it. Sometimes can use a chisel to start one off the shaft. I use the race off of the old one to put the new one on.

wheeler73 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I use an air hammer with a chisel bit to remove the old one. Sometimes I have to torch them off. Make sure you use red locktite on the threads before you install the nut. I use a good 1/2 inch impact to tighten the nut.

Popular Post wheeler73 Posted August 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2014 With a torch I cut the outer cage off and heat the inner race and most time it comes off with the air hammer. If it doesn't I cut the inner race off with the torch you just need to be carefull and take a little off at a time so you do not cut into the drive shaft. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36634-changing-carriercenter-bearing/#findComment-255649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Time the yoke? you mean make sure it is in line with the rest of the u-joints?Torch? well that changes thingsBest thing to do is mark the joint before removal so it will go back in the exact location. Sometimes even timed but 180 degrees off can cause a vibration problem. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

theakerstwo Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 When you pull the yoke from the shaft to remove the brg make sure the yoke goes back on in time and that would be lining it up with the yoke on the other end of that shaft.Not the shaft that connects to this shaft. 1 Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36634-changing-carriercenter-bearing/#findComment-255686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcity Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 UPDATE!!!Everything went well for removal. Bearing basically slid right offBiggest problem was one bolt that holds bearing to hangar was buggered. Had to cut and then get new bolts.Things did get moved around and I ended up with the yoke off by one notch. Vibration. redid itI still have a slight vibration. Was told that the transmission yoke and rear end yoke should be same. as in, both are caps up, not cap on one end strap on the other. Have two u-joints in between.Thanks for all the help....Ed Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36634-changing-carriercenter-bearing/#findComment-262930 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Transmission yoke and axle yoke should match. If one is vertical then the other should be vertical at the same time.Is that the one???Bedtime reading.http://65.170.161.218/~spicerpa/sites/default/files/pdf/driveshaft_installation.pdf 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
