Rear drive shaft Question

HI guys. I am trying to replace the center bearing on the rear drive shaft of my truck and I can't seem to get the fork off. The truck is a 79 f150 supercab with an 8ft bed(yea its a bardge), 302, 4 speed, and 9in. out back. It has a 2 piece drive shaft. From the tranny, a slip in fork, u-joint, shaft center bearing, fork ( the one I cant get off on the rear side of the center bearing), u-joint, shaft, u-joint rearend. any help would be appreciated.

Those center bearings are pressed on, I had mine replaced and I had to take it to a shop and they had to put it into a machine and pull it apart, and then they pressed on the new one.
