"Is this possible or do I have to remove everything?"

No, you shouldn't have to remove the upholstery (see below).

"By black plastic nut, do you mean the knurled nut that you tighten to adjust the height of the headrest?"

No, after removing the headrest, adjusting nut and small locking ring, there is an additional knurled nut. I forgot to mention there is also a large plastic washer under the second nut.

"In order to push the metal tube up, does the vinyl and foam have to be removed?"

No, you can remove the hog rings at the bottom of the seat cushion and reach inside.

"From the sound of this, the seat cover and foam have to be removed to gain access to the bottom end of the black plastic bushing. Am I wrong?"

Yes.
