Another tip: When you have the hubs on the carrier knurled, have the machinist take a .005 cut on the bearing stop to true it up, then add a .005 shim there. Have another cut taken below the stop about a 1\4" deep and about 1\8" in. This will allow more room to get a bearing puller under the bearing to pull it off without damaging it if you need to add more shims.
The last photo shows a bearing hub sheared off because someone did not understand pre-load and locked up the bearing. Henry's 40 horses usually spin the bearing on the hub, however, in this case it sheared the hub. This actually came out of a running car. I have seen this on several occasions.
Best to use a shop press when installing the bearings. Hammering them on is not recommended. Be certain they are fully seated.

Hi Tom. When I took the pinion off I used one of the vendor wrenches for near the banjo and a large adjustable wrench on the outer one. That seemed to work to remove it at least
