Ok the differential has carrier bearings at the side gears, and a pinion bearing at the driveshaft yolk, Knowing how to do either one is a good thing, but removing and pressing the new one back on, or If you have this equipment, I will fill in the blanks on the rest.equires a press and special jigs to do the job.
