How do you know the clutch is blue unless you have had it apart. If it is blue it is overheated and you need to change the parts out for new ones. It is likely slipping if blued. Make sure it gets done right and adjusted properly when you rebuild it. Can be just as cheap to just buy the whole clutch as an assembly.
Which bearing? The hub bearing? I can send it. I have your Ford shop manual & wiring books for $25, plus $4 shipping. Let me know.

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
Driveshaft Center Bearing
Special Tool(s)

Puller, Bearing 205-D064 (D84L-1123-A) or Equivalent
Driveshaft Alignment Bushing Remover Tube 205-D073 or Equivalent Disassembly
Remove the driveshaft (4602). For additional information, refer to Driveshaft in this section.
Separate the front and rear shaft assemblies.

Using the special tools, remove the retaining ring and the center bearing and bracket assembly (4A499).
Assembly
Position the center bearing and bracket assembly and the retaining ring on the yoke.
Using the special tool, drive the retaining ring and bearing assembly until fully seated on the yoke.
CAUTION: Align the index marks or driveshaft imbalance can occur. Assemble the front and rear shaft assemblies.
Install the driveshaft. For additional information, refer to Driveshaft in this section.
If you mean the shaft that runs the accessories in the front causing a chattering noise, No, you need to loosen the mounts that hold the whole front assembly in place to remove the coupling though.
If you mean the rear driveshaft, then yes, Lift the vehicle, select neutral gear, apply the handbrake and mark the driveshaft at the rear where the driveshaft connects to the differential so it can be re fitted in the same position. Loosen the bolts one by one, releasing the handbrake to turn the driveshaft around to get to the next bolt. Take note of which way around the bolts are as this is important for the strength of the bolts in relation to the sheering action of the driveshaft.
You most likely need a 15 dollar ujoint. The dealer will sell you the whole unit to make a better return. Even so a driveshaft can be balanced for about $100 bucks if it were out of balance but if you did not loose a weight or bend it then it shoulds be just fine. Go to an independant shop. You will be treated better and only the parts needed will be sold to you.
Hi, I'd check the chain for tight spots, also have a good look at the rear tyre, make sure the tyre bead is seated evenly on the rim & check for bald spots/ lumps etc in the tread, hope this helps :)
I just had the same issue with a 1999 2500HD and the vibration got worse above 50 mph. Problem was resolved with a new driveshaft. Old one (aluminum) was badly out of true and the problem didn't really occur until I had the U joints changed - then bent driveshaft vibration was noticeable. New driveshaft resolved issue.
sounds like the u-joints in the front axle are bad or were installed incorrectly they only come into play when the wheel is turned. These are the axle ujoints not the driveshaft ujoints
