So I put a new one on. I had bought a brand new shop press since I figured I needed one for other things and I went to try to put the drive shaft under it and the u joint yoke was too big to fit under the hole between the steel beams in the press. So the press basically was useless for this job. I bought the 20 ton harbor freight one and it was just barely too small.

I ended up getting the bearing off with a 12 dollar jaw gear puller it wasn't on that hard of a press fit.

I tapped the new one on with a pipe.
