Banjo saga continues

[Res731]

So I completely disassembled the carrier and i removed all the bushings and races . The only thing i couldn't do was to remove the pinion gear from the drive shaft.

At first i though the carrier bearings were tight. But once I took the axles off I could turn the inner part of the bearing by hand. It's a little stiff and still had to hammer and chisel it off because there was a slight lip on the end of the carrier. Looks like I will have to have the carrier knurled.
