Check out PD-7 & PD-8 in your FSM.

And in case you don't have an FSM http://phatg20.net/modules.php...d=230

easy when you send it to a machinist. You'll need access to a press, otherwise i do not recommend it as a DIYer.

How do you know that one of the carrier bearings are bad and which one? There are two carrier bearings and two pinion bearings.

If the bearing(s) are indeed bad, the differential must be removed from the car and taken apart. When new carrier parts are installed, the carrier pre-load must be properly set, tooth pattern checked and back lash properly set; very precision procedure.

Wow!! That's quite a procedure - - just to replace a carrier bearing? I can't imagine how you would set preload on a carrier bearing. I guess I sould just be happy I don't drive a 240...
