My 1996 Ram 1500 Truck 5.2 started making a bad noise right at what I think is referred to as the drive shaft center bearing. It's where the front drive shaft and rear are joined together. Has anyone replaced this bearing and if so could you give me an idea on level of difficult and any tricks? I do most of my own stuff (brakes, water pumps etc..) so I'm not completely helpless. Thanks.

Here's a picture
I'm not sure on what it's called. It's a two wheel drive. About half way back there is a mount hung off the frame with what I'm guessing is a bearing. The front half of the drive goes through this. The back half of the drive shaft starts on the other side. I tried to attach a picture. The picture is from under looking up. The red drive shaft is coming from the front. The boot is the beginning of the rear.
