Jacking up from one side is fine, I do it all the time. Use jack stands and mark the yokes and flanges before you separate them. U joints can be a pain to remove a press is sometimes very handy, a large vice is also useful. You can use socketts as drifts to push the joint caps from side to side in the yoke. Be very careful installing the new caps to be sure the needle bearings don't shift around. Take an old U joint with you to Auto Zone, the ones they had listed for my 89 745 Turbo were too wide and I had to return them. They did not have the correct ones in stock, I ended up going to NAPA. I would do the U joints first they are probably the culprit, not the center support bearing.
