Erik,
you don't need it.  A few gentle taps with soft hammer is all it takes.
The carrier is only pre-loaded .003 (Spitfire/GT6).  Hardly enough force to
really hold it in.  I've rebuilt probably ten diff's in the life of all my
cars, (and some that weren't my cars) and never once used or needed one.
