Got the job done in about 1.5 hrs today. You can remove the bracket and pull it off the front of the shaft pretty easily.
That way I was able to clean up the parts and replace the forward orange bushing. I did mark the position of the parts on the selector shaft before disassembly to be sure it all went together again lined up.
After it was all together I couldnt get 2nd gear at all from the gear stick, so I put loosened the relay shaft on the shift rod, pushed the gearbox input shaft to 2nd and retightened the relay shaft clamp. Then all the gears worked.
Going into first still isnt as slick as I'd like it to be but Im getting a tub of lithium grease to lube things up more, I only used the spray lithium grease that I had so far. Looks to me like the old bushings had blue bearing grease on them which is probably why they fell apart.
I took some pics if anyone wants to them
