Edit: You will need one of these to remove the carrier, https://millerspecialtools.spx.com/Detail.aspx?id=1103
You can remove it by using a long drift punch in one of the round holes on either side of the diff. housing. Insert the punch into one of the holes in the adjuster and tap with a hammer. Once one side is loose, the other side is also loose.
I made a tool for setting the carrier bearing preload by removing the adjuster and grinding a large nut down to fit it, welding a 30" piece of rebar to the nut and an old socket to the other end.

I read a lot of different sizes before making mine that's why I took the adjuster out the way I did, so I could make one that fit for sure. Just measured mine, it's a shade larger than 1 3/8", maybe 1 7/16". Also heard about using B body struts but didn't try it. Or was it torsion bars, don't recall.
