Either a large vise and some big sockets, or a BFH and an anvil or a really stout block of wood or bench. Don't forget the penetrating oil!

The center support bearing CAN be a pain to try to do at home unless one has the tools(press and fixtures)
There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!
