    How long does it generally take a shop to replace carrier Bearing? Just trying to get a idea of how much I'm going to be paying. Thanks.

    Surely theres a mechanic on TR that can give you the actual book hours of labor on this. I changed my own so i know what kind of labor is involved, not hard to do.

    I had to cut my old one off with a side grinder. That was the hardest part. Getting it on after using some emery cloth to clean it up wasn't bad.

    I feel you'll have a difficult time with it without something to cut it off.

    Maybe not spray bolts good and often for a good while pb blaster before hand. Use straps to support drive shafts . Mine was easy. Rear main seal leaking helped a lot Lol. But otherwise it’s an easy 1 hour job ( 2 or 3 hrs for you and me ) Not big deal self explanatory.Or even Shop charge $ 150 total Id be happy with it.

    No problem getting the two bolts to the frame or u joints. My issue was getting the old bearing off the driveshaft.
