Great video! It is exactly the one I need to help me change out that carrier bearing in my 2016 Ranger Crew 570 Full Size. One comment however. You are showing heating up the drive shaft and freezing the bearing in order to get them to go together freely. You are doing it just the opposite of what should be done. Heating expands the shaft, and freezing contracts the bearing. You are thereby making it more difficult for them to go together. I suspect that no heating or cooling is really necessary, but if find you have to, you'd need to get the drive shaft cold to shrink it, and heat up the bearing to expand it. I wouldn't recommend a torch however. We usually heat bearings in hot oil to expand them a tad. This is coming from years of machine shop work.
Wow I guess I'm weird I didn't think I had him problem pulling the entire three-piece shaft out without ever touching the front diff or disassembling the clutch or even looking at the clutch only by removing skid plates loosening up the carrier bearing and working the shaft out while laying on the ground really wasn't that hard

Alot easier to take the front differential out and take the prop shaft right out of the front.
