Can I replace the driveline center support/bearing without special tools? 200

You will need a few wrenches to uncouple the universal joints and remove the center bearing hanger. Mark the positions of the yokes at the ujoints and the two halves of the driveshaft. Always a good idea to put things back together the same way they were, eh? Slide the driveshaft apart at the slip joint. Drive the bearing off the shaft with a hammer and punch. I have an old piece of mild steel rod, but any soft punch will do. Gotta drive it off straight...bang some on one side, then turn it, you know? Drive the new one on, then put the whole thing back together.
