The 3" spreader you have linked is far too small for this so don't waste your time with it. You need this or an equivalent:

I bought a Gray Tools P503 when I did my install

The HF one should be more than adequate to do the job and I would have bought it if I lived in the states, $30 is a steal. Splitter won't work for the carrier bearings, you will need to cut off.

 

You may want to give this a try, Get a chisel and grind a nice point on it so it will get between the bearing and gear. Put the gear on a solid wood surface and see if you can separate it. Sometimes this works and other times it don't but worth a shot. If it moves the bearing you then can get a gear puller on it and pull it off.

 

That sucks the larger one doesn't come in that kit, if I bought that single large splitter would that work without all that other jazz? How would I go about using the old bearing to set up the shims? Would sand paper be enough shave a little off the inner race?

 

"That other jazz" is the puller. You can fab a puller, use a 2/3 jaw, a press or a few blocks of wood to hold the splitter and pound out the pinion gear. Use a brake hone to make setup bearings.

 

Would I be able to put that separator on top of the bearing and use a press to press it on? I would be skeptical of putting the press on the pinion gear, I saw somebody do it on a Chevy site though

 

Sorry I missed you saying use the press in the previous post, but would I be able to install it that way?

Opposite of this, put the gear on the top and the splitter on top

 

Find a piece of pipe with an appropriate ID and OD to press on the inner race of the bearing

 

You think like autozone would have small enough exhaust pipe to use?

 

Also, theoretically could I put the same amount of shims that come off and put the same amount on and achieve the correct pinion depth? I don't have the tools to make a set up bearing, and my guess is that puller will ruin the bearing if I need to take it off again. What did you guys use to hold the yoke in place? Torque for the pinion nut is 210?
