buy a new carrier or maybe you need bearings

Same thing happened to mine. Bearing broke inside. If u caught it soon u might of saved ur carrier, so just get new axle bearings and seals. But mine was rode too long with no bearings so it ate away at the carrier and cracked on the side with the bearing that fell out.

It's still apart in the garage and im waiting on a new rad bearing carrier with axle nut. Hope it's better! ttyl

same thing happened to me when i rode it too long with bed bearings they explode and my whole carrier had a crack and one side shattered and fell off and then it was a pain in the arse to get the axle nut off. it took a 2 foot long pipe wrench a 3 foot long pipe and a 200 pound man to stand on the wrench. then it just turn the engine when it was in first gear.
