Drive shaft and trailing arm question

First of all, how do you replace the bushings on the trailing arms? They are out of the truck. Secondly, how do you take the drive shaft apart at the carrier bearing?

I used a ball joint press to change out the bushings and for the drive shaft remove the ujoint and remove the bolt that's in the center of the shaft.

I used a torch to remove my trailing arm bushings. Which carrier bearing do you have?

Re: Drive shaft and trailing arm question

Wish it had pic too. I need to replace my carrier bearing. Any one have a part number for the carrier bearing for a 2 piece drive shaft?
