Drive shaft

I've never done one myself. But I believe it has to be pressed off and on. Here is a pic. Not sure if it's the same as yours.

Also some text that may or may not apply.

DISASSEMBLY
Place the coupling shaft/center bearing on a suitable workbench, being careful not to damage the tube. CAUTION: Under no circumstances is the driveshaft to be clamped in the jaws of a vise or similar holding fixture. Denting or localized fracture of the tube can result, which can cause driveshaft failure.
Separate slip yoke from coupling shaft (if attached).
Remove driveshaft center bearing bracket and retainer.
Remove the rubber insulator.
Press (using a suitable press) driveshaft center bearing support and bearing retainer off the coupling shaft.
Press the dust slinger off the coupling shaft.
ASSEMBLY
Replace with Center Bearing Assembly Kit.
Install dust slinger. Install driveshaft center bearing bracket in the rubber insulator and press the bearing on the shaft with the turned-in lip toward the dust slinger (forward). The support bracket must be installed with the deep flange rearward.
Install slip yoke to coupling shaft.

Hope that helps.

It must be pressed on and off. It's not too tight, maybe a thousand pounds.
