Center/carrier bearing orientation - 76 C20 suburban

The rear dust cover is pressed on, not super tight but it's not coming loose normally. The front one is between the bearing and the thick part of the driveshaft. Is...- ali_c20

Differential swap / bought it, work and install now
I use furniture dollies for moving axles around in my garage. I put my "shelved" transmission, engines, transfer cases and other heavy stuff on them so that I can easily move them around. No matter where I put them, there always comes a time when they get in my way.- ali_c20
