BUT - labor involved since you're not only removing a trumpet - but also pulling the rear axle (or at least the carrier if the axles are still separate) AND using a puller on the bearing.
Or perhaps the cup to the same effect - maybe this isn't so bad? It might do well to simply settle on one thickness of gasket, possibly the thicker one (to defer "ripping" on dis-assembly) and make all your changes of carrier position on the bearing cup shims alone?
Make life simple. Hold one aspect constant and change the other.
I will complement you - this thread makes for interesting intellectual insight.
Once you have a proper pre-load, positioning the carrier by moving shims/gaskets from left to right to get correct contact is EVERYTHING.
