Questions - U-Joints and Center Bearing 700 1989

Greetings from SoCal,

My '89 760T has had driveline shudder on accelleration for about two months and I want to cure it. I have an ipd catalog and will make a "jig" out of cardboard in order to accurately measure the size of each u-joint. I'll be buying a complete center bearing kit with new rubber, spring and cup washer and all new flange bolts.

I know that I must mark the driveshaft flanges and reassemble exactly as they were before to maintain balance.

My questions:

1. What's the best way to jack the car for this repair? I have a 3 ton floor jack and two 4 ton jackstands. Is is acceptable to raise one side of the car?
If the side approach is not good, is front or back better?

2. Will I need a press for the center bearing or is it possible to remove and replace the center bearing without one? I know AutoZone loans various types of pullers.

3. Any time estimates for any "first timers"?

Any suggestions or words of wisdom are much appreciated.
