Gear swap begins: What are these?

you need to press off the bearings the only way your going to get them off go to a shop with a press they might charge you like 20 dollars, and he isnt over his head not hard to do just have to take your time and get all things lined up were they are suppose to be.
i do all my own work to i dont trust shops to much

This job went and got real on me lol
Seriously though, I finally got one carrier bearing and race off. I tore the bearing cage off and then cut the race off. Once the cut was deep enough the chisel split the race open so I could pull it off. Thanks for that info. Now I got one more bearing to do but first I am going to pick up something from the hardware store that is sharper for cutting metal.
Also, what do you recommend for the pinion bearing?
I know I need to measure the pinion bearing when getting my calculations for all the old parts vs. when I assemble the new pinion parts.
If my backlash isn't right and I have to remove the new pinion bearing again I might damage it and have to get another one.
Which part do I really need to measure though, the bearing cage or the internal race? The race is thicker from top to bottom than the cage and from what I see would effect the total thickness and backlash more than anything.

I am not all that concerned with damaging the pinion bearing as I can always get another one since their so cheap. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky the first time around.

Well I was about half way through getting the other carrier race off and I ran out of cut off wheels for my dremel. All I had was thin cut off wheels so it looks like I got to pick up some thicker ones.
Work is a little slow outside now since were facing a levee break here. Authorities are saying to be ready to evacuate. Funny I'm working on this project while others are packing to leave the neighborhood

When I go to install the new pinion bearing, I was planning to freeze the pinion and heat the bearing in the oven to about 300 degrees. I read somewhere not to heat them to 400-450 for some reason.
I read this eases the installation and the bearing should slip right on.
Will the bearing go on all the way or will it still need to be pressed down more?
