When installing the carrier in the rear end of one of these cars here is some advice. If you have too much preload on the carrier bearings and it goes together pretty tight, it will be damn near impossible to remove later on.
Had to make a puller to get it apart. No damage and the rear end was silent so I guess it doesn't hurt to be tight.
Tomarrow, I will be able to spin donuts again.
