the trick is rigging the correct support/jig to provide support for the bearing splitter. Which reminds me, I've got to pick up one of those bearing splitters here pretty soon... (doing 4.88's and an ARB in our TJ). Already got a 20-ton HF press to use.
Hey CRASH (or anyone else for that matter), any suggestions or pics of how to do the jig/support to fit a D44 carrier? I've got a redneck jig made of 2x4's that fits a D30 carrier (yes, it's that scary), but the 44 carrier is a lot bigger. We're putting in a new carrier (ARB) and all new bearings and stuff, so I may not even mess with trying to pull the old stuff off the original carrier, but it'd be nice to have some tips just in case I do need to. The thread linked to above didn't get that far (talking about the jig).
