ok so now ive got the center support bearing in place, i couldnt get the bracket off so i had to do some creative pounding on the lower half with a rubber mallet, then put the bearing in place then pound it back to look ok. its a little cold up here so i took a break but all i gotta do is reconnect the rear driveshaft to the front driveshaft. just a note to ppl who have to do this in the future, if you can take the bracket apart DO IT it makes it soooo much easier and make sure you clean out the groves in the bracket. (mine had the metal o ring from the old bearing still)
