center support bearing

Has any body ever had the mounting bolts pull out of the Center support bearing on the drive shaft? After letting my Son drive my truck for a few days, I was coming home last night and I found out that the Bearing had the mounting bolts pulled out. now I have to get a new one pressed on.

Never heard of this one before if the mt. bolts were tight to begin with. Suggest not letting the son borrow it again

Never heard of that..

If your son was driving hard and dumping the clutch, he would have tore the rubber bushing.
The bolts were probsbly loose to begin with.

It's really not a press fit. You will find a bolt behind the bearing that holds the yoke on. Loosen the bolt, let it just sit to the side there, slip off the yoke and the old support and slide on the new one.
