Carrier Bearings: Service and Repair

NOTE: Check the bearings for wear and rough rotation. If the bearings are OK, removal is not necessary.

BEARING REPLACEMENT





1. Remove the tapered roller bearings using a bearing puller.





2. Install the new tapered roller bearings, using the special tool and a press as shown.

NOTE:
- Press the bearings on until they bottom.
- Use the large end of the special tool for torque converter housing side bearing.
- Use the small end of the special tool for transmission housing side bearing.

NOTE:
- The bearing and outer race should be replaced as a set.
- Inspect and adjust the bearing preload whenever a bearing is replaced.
- Drive in the bearings securely so that there is no clearance between the bearings and differential carrier.
