Welcome to RF!

To pull your carrier on your front D-44 you either need to buy or build a case spreader. Yup thats what I said.

I've heard of guys pulling them out with a come a long hooked to the bumper and pounding them in with sledge hammers but that's not the correct way!

Near the bottom of this page you'll find some of the specialty tools you're looking for or at least what they look like.
