Carrier Bearing Replacement

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Special Tools Required

Remover Installer, 22 x 37/46 x 52 mm 07PAF-0030100

NOTE:

The bearing outer race and the tapered roller bearing should be replaced as a set.
Whenever the tapered roller bearing is replaced, do the carrier bearing preload adjustment (see CARRIER BEARING PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT ) while reassembling the transmission.

Check the carrier bearings for wear and rough rotation on the transmission or the clutch housing with the bearing outer race. If they rotate smoothly and their rollers show no signs of wear, the bearings are OK.
Remove the carrier bearings (A) using a commercially available bearing puller (B) and a bearing separator (C).
