carrier bearing replacement
I was trying to follow some very old threads about swapping out carrier bearing, but was getting nowhere. So the problem I am having is I am not sure how to remove the bearing from the driveshaft. There appears to be a flange (red arrow) that appears to be connected to the splined shaft. This is the part I am not sure about removing. Has anyone any ideas on how to get the bearing off the shaft? I haver tried "pulling" the splined shaft off by hand and it is on solid. I dont want to get wrenching on it for fear of putting the shaft out of balance or causing damge to the splined shaft. Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm sorry, its a 60. I did some serious looking and it appears to be pressed on (it wont move by hand or gentle tap w/ brass hammer) I managed to get the outer "sleeve" off that the arrow is pointing to. That baby is on there!! I will try to get it pressed off tomorrow at school...they have a sweet shop there open to gearheads who know how to use the equipment!!!!
BTW, it seems I have more experience even though I am paying 15,000 for my last 3 yrs of engineering school, which specializes in reading manuals!

Support Bearing Replacement
Similar part in my manual 48-52 manual shows the front collar, bearing, and rear collar inside the center sleeve inside the support have to be "pressed" off. It looks like there is a "set" screw in the rear collar and the center support holding them in place. One of these "set screws" could be a grease fitting(they don't give the name of the standard parts). I think Lewis is right, this is a job for pros.

First off, these are not called carrier bearings. A carrier bearing is a rear axle part, and is another name for a pinion bearing. The correct name is: Drive Shaft Center Support. If I knew the exact application, I could furnish the correct part numbers. On the later trucks after 1960, the entire assembly can be purchased as one kit (4800). There are at least three types for 1961/1979 F100/350's. The later kits are DIY friendly, there's no need to have them pressed on/off. All these parts whether the entire kit or pieces from the earlier supports can be purchased from Ford or various auto parts stores.
Edit: Profile says 1960 F100. But these parts must be looked up under the driveshaft applications. There is a difference in driveshafts between 2 and 4WD, the wheelbase, and the transmission type, 3 or 4 speed or automatic.

jimhackney,lewislynn, Thanks for the info. This is the realization I have come to.
NumberDummy, I apologize for the terminology. I have heard these "Drive Shaft Center Support" called carrier bearings by a number of people...it sounded right to me. For particulars:
1960 F100
2WD
118" wheelbase
300-6cyl
light duty manual 3-speed
2 piece driveshaft

You have added the 300, did you change the driveshaft, or cut it to fit?
The reason I posted the D/S center support reference, is one member here went to Auto Zone and asked for a carrier bearing. After getting the info, the parts guy handed him a pinion bearing, that's not what he wanted.

Hey, the driveline was not changed, at least not when I put in the 300! Not sure about the previous owner! It appears that it has not been chnaged, due to the amount of grease and crud.
I understand about the terminology, as I have had a similar problems before when I first started my "mechanic'n"! Thanks for your help NumberDude!

It appears you can buy the entire assembly as a kit, like I posted about the 61/79 4800 kits above. All I have to do is match the parts from 1960 to the charts that cover ones from 1961 and later, which may take a few minutes as, there are 300 charts.
