most of them are press on, best bet is to take it to a drive shaft shop.

Listen to Lh M.
It's generally cheaper, not to mention a lot less stressful, in the end.

I just had mine replaced, its not worth the time or trouble to do it yourself. For $125 the shop replaced the bearing,and balanced my drive shaft.
