Damnit, center support bearing demolished! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The past few days I've been hearing a clunking noise coming from underneath the truck. Yesterday, it kind of grumbled at first, but was fine all day. Today however, I pull out of the driveway, and there's this violent clunking sound coming out from underneath. I look, and the center support bearing for the drive shaft has cracked off on one side! The rubber and one side of the metal bearing are entwined around the universal joint, and are slapping away!! Guess I have to replace it now!

Do you really have to drop the drive shaft in order to replace these??
