On Wednesday afternoon while I was driving home from work, the passenger side front wheel bearing started to make loud noises on my 2001 maxima (135,000 miles). Thursday I drove about 10 miles on it to and from lunch. Friday I drove 40 miles (to and from the airport). Saturday 12 miles (this was a holiday... most auto repair shops and car rental places were closed), Sunday 6 miles and Monday morning another 5 miles to the auto repair shop.

Is it safe to drive with a bad wheel bearing?
Not knowing how bad the bearing is, I can't say how long it will last before the wheel falls off. Drive to your local garage for repair and don't take the highway.

How long can you drive on bad wheel bearing?
If it truly is the wheel bearing that has gone bad, the noise will start out small then progressively get louder. On most modern cars the wheel bearing can be driven on until the noise is unbareable to the driver, I have driven a bad wheel bearing for a few hundred miles before having it replaced. Since the make, model, and year of the car is unknown a proper answer is unable to be provided so I am not suggesting to drive the car long distances but usually all that will happen is the noise will grow progressively worse.i would not drive at all you will cause dammage to spindle which will cost much more to repair and you could lose the entire wheel off the vehicle

When you change the carrier bearing on the axle should you change the one going to the transmission?
A "Carrier bearing" is only used on a "split driveshaft" vehicle; such as a truck or long wheel based car. Front wheel drive cars, such as the cavalier (that this question is categorized under) are CV joints (Constant velocity joints). When rebuilding any CV it is almost required to rebuild both of the joints on the axle; it would be silly to go that far in the repair and not do them both.
