Did mine a short time ago, I removed the rear half of the D/S then undid the two bolts on the carrier (mine was the horse shoe type) and slid the front half of the D/S back and out through the cross member. It has been said that a press is needed to remove and install carrier bearings...that is true up to a point, though I was able to remove and install mine with some carefull but persuasive hammering. I was not woried about the removal of the old one so much as that was going in the bin...but I took a lot more time and care to fit the new one.
