The bearing itself is press fit onto the driveshaft splined shaft, when replacing it needs to be pulled/driven off and pushed/driven on. The carrier bearing mount/bracket is a seperate part that is installed over/around the bearing itself and insulates the driveshaft/bearing from the chassis via its moulded rubber surround.
