there's no easy way to remove your bearing carrier!!?? Axel then carrier pretty simple job takes about 15 minutes!!!

im not tryin to be rude, so dont take this the wrong way. but if you dont know how to get the axle out, please have someone who knows how do it. it may cost you money for them to remove the axle/carrier, but it can save you quite a bit of $ and headaches if they do it right

If I recall, I had to convince mine out of the swingarm, with the axle still frozen in it.

I had to cut of the big locknuts and the thread barrel, then the rotor hub. It was all rusted on. Then I could get the snap ring and caliper bracket off. A little work with the BFH got the axle and carrier out of the swinger.

Once out, I used a wheel/hub to hold the axle up and used the BFH to slide the carrier off the axle. Be careful - the carrier is brittle.

I ended up replacing the brake hub, thread barrel and locknuts. What a mess.
