My brother hopped on my ex the other day an rocked it back and forth and relIzed a noise, so I looked and on the right side I think the bearing is out bcuz it shakes. Do I just need to put in a new bearing or should I put the whole carrier in, and is this a hard task?!

It's not a hard task and you can purchase a dual row carrier on eBay for like $100. Thatd be your best bet

If you can get the bearings out of the carrier without braking it then you can just get new bearings but many times they brake. I is ezest to just order a new carrier with bearings. Also have you jacked it up and wiggled the axle to be sure that is your problem?

Much easier to buy an entire carrier, the parts alone are about half of what a nice new carrier will sell for on ebay and it saves you the trouble of an annoying bearing replacement. Its not hard to do just time consuming if you dont have a bearing puller tool.
