when I did mine, I had to used a special puller to take it out, it kinda looks like a long 90 degree pick and has a night stick like handle that u tap with a hammer. worked for me.
Do I need to pull the tailshaft out to get the bushing out or will the tool do it for me? If I do need to pull the tailshaft what do I need to what for?

except the shifting rail goes into the tailhousing, then you'd have to beat out the roll pin along with removing the shifter and then you'd have alot of fun if your tranny was still in the car.......good luck.....
I have alway beat the bushing out with the housing off the tranny since i didn't think it was possible to be pulled out the end where the seal sits
Not what I wanted to hear, I am going to try just a new seal first, if that does not do it then I'm only out a few bucks and will try again later.

I also needed to replace my tailshaft bushing while I was doing my heads and cam swap. I heard you needed the tool and I sure as hell didn't have one so I just took the tranny to a tranny shop and they charged me like $20 bucks including the bushing....pretty cheap and it's better than me messing with it not knowing what the hell I'm doing 
I might jsut take it to a shop and have it done... Thanks, if its only $20 or so bucks I cant loose.
