Default Transmission extension housing removal?

Hiya

In an attempt to correct some deep vibration I get when driving 55-65mph,
I'm going to be replacing the extension housing seal and bushing on my 1995
Ford E250 4.9L L6. I've already replaced the u-joints. The seal has some
tears and leaks a bit and there is a lot of play on the output shaft of the
transmission. The transmission itself is the 3-speed C6. In the Ford
factory manual they describe the process of replacing the bushing as not
requiring removal of the entire extension housing because they tell you to
use this special bushing removal tool that actually allows you to insert it
from the driveshaft end of the housing and then 'pull' the bushing out
using the tool's fingers... the problem is I can't find this tool at any of
the auto parts shops around town and have only been able to find a set of
bushing drivers that allow you to tap out the old bushing. This requires
complete removal of the extension housing, but this process is not
described in any of the 3 manuals I have. Will I have to remove the entire
transmission? If not, will I still have to drain out the transmission
fluid? Is there anything difficult about removing the extension housing?
basically just give me the inside scoop on this. I figure it's probably an
easy task, but I wanted to get some advice from the pros here before I end
up screwing something up major.

Or Is there any chance I could find a special tool like the one described in
the Ford manual at a hardware store or Home Depot? What could I look for?

take care
Jay
