How to remove Center Bearing from Driveshaft?!?! Help 700 1987

Follow the directions below. 'tis most important to mark the splined joint between front and rear sections. I also mark the yokes at the Ujoints. A brass punch and MFH work fine for me when I drive the old bearing off and the new one on. Careful to hammer only on the inner race-the part that fits around the driveshaft. Be sure to drive the bearing all the way on, until it seats against the shoulder. On the other hand, if you don't have a lot of experience installing bearings, you may want to take it somewhere. The job isn't too sophisticated, though.

How to remove Center Bearing from Driveshaft?!?! Help 700 1987

I don't have my info right at hand, but I have read through how to do it.

My car needs this done, just haven't had the time.

You do need to remove drive shaft at front flange. You have to make sure that when you separate front section of driveshaft from rear that the two are marked for exact reassembly!! To avoid driveshaft vibration.

Also, you my need to visit machine shop to press off the bearing.

Hope this helps a little.
