Good advise. Just did mine last week. Took about an hour to get eight driveshat bolts loose. The fastest way I found due to the limited access was to cut the nuts diaoganly about 2/3 to the threads on one side. This allows some of the clamping force to be relived from the bolt and you can loosen it from the bolt side which has more access. Next problem I had was the center bearing was the wrong one. Make sure you measure the front driveshaft diameter not the rear one! That caused a five day delay due to I ordered the parts from FCP Groton, great prices and great parts too.Thank goodness for 2 day air. The next was trying to press in the u joints. Using a vice was less than sucessful, with all of the moving about one or more of the rollers would drop down and get crushed. Went through two joints and decided that I have to get the center bearing pressed on might as well get them to do the rest. After I got the driveshaft back it only took half an hour to reinstall it and clean up. Now let me tell it drives soooooo much smoother with no shudder when taking off under load. My total cost was $150 parts and labor and well worth it. I would definatly do it your self but have the machine shop do the bearings and joints. FYU the dealer gave me a quote of $130 for the support and 40 for the bearing, $170. Same parts a FCP $33 plus shipping. Whats up with that!
