the inner end of the axle is splined into the carrier and that's what supports it, the carrier has a bearing on each side, which i guess you could say is the inner bearing for the axle, in a round about way. if you pull the carrier and replace a bearing, or anything else, and reinstall it all you have to do is make sure you put the shim(s) back where they came from. should be a shim on each side, the bearing rest on the shim, about a 1/4" thick usually.
