I got a recent vibration most likely from my center support bearing crapping out. Any writeups for this? thanks.

This is a pretty straight forward job. Drop the exhaust and then the drive shaft. Make sure the halves of the drive shaft are paint marked so that the drive shaft can be reassembled in the same orientation. Press off the old CSB and press on the new one.
Having said that, if the rubber mount of the CSB has failed, the cause in almost all cases will be binding u-joints in the drive shaft. You can replace the CSB and gain temporary relief, but the new CSB will soon fail. The only long term fix is to replace the CSB and drive shaft at the same time.
Your vibration might not be from a bad CSB. The guibo could be bad or the vibration could be from binding u-joints in the drive shaft.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

Before tightening the bolts that hold the CSB to the body you shift the CSB forward to preload it.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
