I think we miss communicated! I mean the bearing about under the center console going from the transmission to the rear axle! the axle is two parts with a bearing in the middle.

For that bearing, you need to remove the complete shaft, separate them into 2 and remove the flange before the bearing can be pressed out. It is much easier to work on but taking the bearing out is the tricky part as a bench press might not work if it is not big enough.
