Well , can you guys tell me if I'll need to have the bearings in the axel carrier pressed out or can I just do it with a hammer and socket, and pound them out?

I have allways just knocked out the old bearings with a good flathead screwdriver or rod and pressed the new bearings in myself with a big socket and tapping it with a hammer. Just make sure the bearing is going in even and straight.

Pound them out for sure but if you're having trouble getting them back in nice and even then take them to someone with a press. It's easy to damage the races when pounding them in.
