if your refering to the center carrier bearing on drive shaft , it is easy to do, get the new carrier bearing before you begin , two versions 6.5 inch and 7 inch. If your refering to the rear end carrier bearing, completely different deal. Which bearing ? axle or main pinion gear bearing ? let me know i have a complete rear end looking for a home out of a 2000 kia sportage.
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.

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.

Deadly, get it carefully to where you can work on it and replace it.
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.
you don't, you have to replace the whole drive shaft.
