Changing out a4 tailshaft bushing?

Okay guys. I have been experiencing the dreeded vibration that seems to pop up all of a sudden with our cars. I have the 4l60e and I'm leaning towards worn u-joints and a worn out bushing on the tailshaft of the transmission. There is just a little more side to side movement on the yoke than what I remember being there before. My question is when changing out the bushing how difficult is it. Is it as simple as just removing the yoke and just sliding the old bushing off the shaft. Or am I going to need some special tools for the job. If anybody has a write up or some photos of doing this before I would appreciate it.

Have never done it, but it looks like you wil have to remove the tailshaft to do it.

Sorry, I guess I should have said tailshaft housing. Again, never done it, but I think you can just unbolt the tailshaft housing and slide it off the back. Then you can deal with the bushing in the housing.
