I replaced the carrier bearing on the drive line in my '62 C10. Man! What a PITA!

It was easy to change in my old '63 C10. That truck had a Ladder Frame.
The '62 C10 has the X-Frame. The carrier bearing is mounted inside a box. I had to disassemble the emergency brake lever system under the truck. Then pull the drive line out, including the bearing, leaving the rubber mount attached to the frame. Then remove the rubber from the frame separately.

That wasn't too bad. Putting it back together in the reverse order was a lot more fun. Getting the bolts to line up was one thing, but then lining up and forcing the bearing back into the rubber mount was a pain.

But it's all back up and running. Best part is the annoying whine/chirping I was hearing is gone. Wife approves of the difference, which is a major bonus. :-)
