Tranny mount gave out due to tranny leak at tail housing. How hard a repair is this? 200 1983

Hello again, folks. My daughter's beautiful black '83 wagon started groaning and spewing black smoke under the car. Turns out the tranny leaked fluid out onto the rear tranny mount, which in turn went mushy causing the tranny to drop a bit and put stress on the center shaft bearing and rubber housing. Black oil, black smoke, and a loud noise grinding noise forced my daughter to pull over into a Sheetz parking lot and I had it towed home. Now I know how to mark the shaft and remove it. How do I pull the bearing out and especially remove and replace the tail shaft bushing. The books don't seem to cover that part too well. I will likely have to remove and repair the center bearing and rubber mount. Mainly I do not know how to do the bushing. Thanks for any help. My daughter wants her wagon back and no other 240 will do. jg
