Do a search. This topic with some great tricks was done a couple weeks ago.

I made my own driver years ago, and use the threaded rod trick to remove it.

I usually change just the bearing, leave the carrier. I have always turned the bearing on edge to get it out or in. Put it in place in the grooves on edge then use a very short broom handle or something to turn it straight after it is in place, then the alignment tool to get it very straight once you have the room for it to fit. I have never used any type of puller or driver, once you turn it on edge it will slip in and out easily. It should all be dry in there, make sure the bellows are not torn. Don't know of any other gaskets, all dry so gasket for ??
