Not really, but it does require (for me anyway) pressing out the center U-joint to get to the bolt that holds the removable yoke in place. The removable yoke sandwiches the bearing onto the shaft.

You can get new bearings at any NAPA (depending on what type you have, either the in-line bearing which is what I have, or the stronger "U" configurated bearing). Don't waste your time having a machine shop do the bearing press. At most let them either pull or press your center U-joint if you want to.

I'll email you some instructions.
