I have the new one but don't know how to take the old one off. I took the 2 bolts out and disconected the driveshaft in the back but it won't budge. Any help?

The front and rear of the shaft have to be separated. Be sure to mark them so that you can reassemble with exactly the same orientation.
Once the parts are separated, the bearing and mount can be pulled off the shaft as an assembly with a hub puller. The bearing isn't integral to the rubber isolator, but you will need a press to remove it. Alternatively, you can buy a complete center mount, including new rubber and bearing all preassembled. To install the bearing, you will require a press and the correct mandrel.

loosen the 46 MM nut on the driveshaft, and remove the driveshaft compltely at the gearbox coupling and the differential coupling.
Mark the driveshaft tube so where it goes to the spline with paint - after removing the driveshaft in two pieces hold the driveshaft universal side innerwise then you can see a circlip on the driveshaft. remove the circlip and remove the mount and the bearing by using a punch.
Make sure you change the bearing with the centre mount and it goes in the correct way because there are two ways of putting it in.

Have to unbolt the fron too. Take the 3 bolts off that go through the yoke on the back of the transmission (not the ones that go through the yoke on the driveshaft. Then it'll be easy to replace the flex disc if you need to.
After the shaft is out, then I agree with the previous post, you'll need to be a bit creative to get the driveshaft seperated and the new bearing support pressed off and on again.

A automotive Parts machine shop should press the old one off,and press the new one on.Take the whole driveshaft in.Be sure and replace flex disk if any cracks in them.

the bearing is to be pulled off with a long 2 or 3 jaw puller and spray liberally with pb blaster. to install the new one drive on with a piece of PVC pipe[of appropriatesize for inner race] and a mid weight dead blow mallet [use eye protection]
note upon reassembely make sure that rear shaft is in phase with front shaft [this model may use a master spline and only fit one way] and don't over tighten the seal nut on the yoke [the splined shaft should slide in and out freely [.loosen the seal nut to seperate the shafts]

You have a section of the driveashaft disassembled?
I'm pretty sure it needs to slide forward off of the shaft, not just unbolted
That rubber part is "fused" to the metal carrier bracket, it's not supposed to fall off
