Removing and installing the driveshaft is pretty straight forward (a 1 day job, easy).

The way to go is:
Parts from FCP Groton (http://www.fcpgroton.com/volvo700900driveline.htm)

and

An inexpensive 12 ton press from Harbor Freight. (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=33497)

Otherwise, take the parts to a machine or auto repair shop (It cost me $12.00 USD here in MN), to have the center support bearing pressed in. Do NOT try it without a press or you WILL be re-ordering the parts!

Be sure to double check the FAQ for tips, especially in regards to marking the two drive shafts halves to re-installation.

Happy wrenching!
