to remove carrier bearing, u will need to removbe the drive shaft from the vehicle
the carrier bearing is bolted to chassis with 2 bolts . these will need to be removed and the carrier and bearing will come out with the drive shaft
one drive shaft is out you can then knock old bearing and carrier off of shaft with a hammer. the old carrier is no good so doesnt matter if you trash it
once you get old one off, carefully known new one onto shaft until seated,being careful to note which is front of carrier bearing
you can then reinstall cariier bearing and drive shaft to truck. NOTE: now is a good time to check and replace if needed the U-Joints on the drive shaft
The carrier bearing is located in the center of a two piece drive shaft. It holds up the center of the drive shaft. The drive shaft extends from the rear of the transmision to the rear drive axle (differental). The two piece drive shaft and the carrier are needed when there is a large angle between the transmission and the differental. The carrier bearing keeps the drive shaft up high under the vehicle.

there is no front shaft in 63 impala Wrong answer, it's about two feet from the transmission to the carrier bearing
Mark driveshaft and yoke to install in same location to maintain factory balance Remove 2 small "U" bolts from rear end yoke Pry driveshaft out of yoke Slide off spline from transmission not all drive shafts are one piece. How you remove the center support bearing(carrier bearing) from the forward drive shaft?
You must remove the rear drive shaft section and then remove the support.
The carrier bearing is removed from the drive shaft, after it is removed from the vehicle. Block and level the truck and remove the clamps or snap rings on both the universal joints and then unbolt the carrier bearing assembly from the truck. If memory serves, it needs to go to a drive shaft shop to have the old bearing pressed off and the new one pressed on. There is an outside chance that it will come off in pieces, but unlikely. If the truck is in the rust belt, you're better farming the whole job out.
bottom center its the big round thing that hangs vertically and is the only thing around the actual drive shaft
1. remove rear drive shaft.2.remove diff.cover.3.remove both axles.4.remove carrier case assy.5.remove drive shaft yoke.6.tap pinion gear out of housing with (brass hammer).7 remove pinion seal and front pinion bearing.8.rear pinion bearing well need pressed off & on the pinion gear.9.you need to use a punch drive the bearing race from housing both.
Many carrier bearing assemblies must be pressed off and on the shaft. Sometimes it's best to take the entire driveshaft off the vehicle and have a driveline specialist shop replace all of the u-joints and the carrier bearing at the same time. For that matter, they don't usually charge much to remove and replace the driveshaft so it's often not worth the trouble to do it yourself.

Remove the bolts from any supports bearing carriers. Remove the bolts from any U-joins assenbly's and the drive shaft will fall out with a little wiggling on your part. Doing this procedure backwards can damage any attached support bearings and or carrier assemblies.
Pull the 4 nuts that hold the u-bolts to the differential then slide the differential slightly forward on the spline to remove the U-Joint from the differential. You may need to pry it out. If it's a 2 piece drive shaft with a center "carrier" bearing, remove the 2 bolts of the carrier bearing, then slide the splined shaft out of the transmission. It might be a good idea to have a pan or oil absorbent material available to catch the oil that will drip from the transmission tailshaft.
