The bearing and outer race should be replaced as a set.

Install the new carrier bearings with the special tool and a press.
NOTE:
- Press the bearing on until it bottoms.
- Use the small end of the special tool to install the bearing.
- Press the bearing on securely so there is no clearance between the bearing and the differential carrier.
