Center Support Bearing
No special tools required! Mark your shaft positions front and rear and remove the socket head bolts note:Sometimes you have to take a small torch and melt the loctite to break them loose.Two 17 mm bolts at center support bracket and remove shaft.paint mark shaft locations,remove u-joint flanges
then remove locknut and use a two jaw puller and remove flange from end of shaft.Then take a punch to drive old bearing support of shaftat inner race.
Place the new support and bearing in SAME Direction on shaft, I use a pipe the size of the bearing inner surface and drive it on with deadblow hammer
A deep 36mm 12point chrome snap-on socket works also.
good luck Tim
