center drive shaft bearing support replacement.
Is this something that can be done at home with basic tools, or do I need to bring my truck into the shop? I have a bulk load of tools, but not sure if anything special is needed. It seems to be pretty straight forward to do, but, any tricks or tips will be helpful. Thanks on advance.

its easiest to do with the drive shaft on the truck. For me to do mine, I needed a 14mm shallow socket, 6" extension, 2-14mm wrenches, a 24mm socket and a big breaker bar. Or a little breaker bar and a big snipe, a punch and a hammer to dent your nut after torquing it down. a pry bar to work it off.
Pretty straight forward wrenching. seperate the shafts, remove the big nut. mark the flange position so it goes on exactly where it comes off. get the flange off, remove the 2 14mm bolts holding on the bearing to the cross member. smack off the bearing, then reverse the process.
