how do i remove it?
i have this other type on my long step (pic4)
there is a tremendous amount of play in the bearing itself

it's held in the crossmember by 2bolts on top unbolt it and unbolt the rear ujoint and slip the driveshaft out of the truck press out the center ujoint unbolt yoke slide carrier bearing off . make sure to mark everything so you put it together in-phase

Those are the 2 different kinds that were available. I use the ones that inland empire driveline service sells on mine. They are made out of aluminum and way way stronger. They are also about $120, but I am not willing to pay $40 for a regular one every 6 months.

smokekiki, yes I had to machine the top portion so it would fit up inside the bracket. But I have been told that they fixed this, I'll let you know in a couple of weeks. Got a new one for the Burb, it is going in when I get a chance to replace the tranny.
