well the shop that put my new center support bearing on had to use a 50 ton press to get it off.. it was a pain in the butt thats for sure.
and i let them put the new Ujoints in for me, friends with a guy there so i couldnt complain bout the price..

did they just do the bearing part or did they just replace the whole unit according to the pictures of it and what ive seen under the truck it looks like a bolt off/on piece.
