don't forget to check pinion depth too.

yeah, i have to pretty much read up on all of that stuff. I think one of my friends used to install carriers into housings so hopefully he'll know how to check the pinion depth, and shimm it out correctly. If not i have to find someone local who can do a proper job for me.
I also don't understand what you mean about close ended. but i just uploaded pics.

No, the bearings look to be about the same size.
