No need to take anything apart. The bushing and the Neutral Safety switch are within arm's reach of each other, but it is a tight fit. You will have an easier time if you use small (1/4" ratchet) and/or slim tools.

The switch is attached to the trans, and the bushing is on a metal rod that runs horizontally, and forward, to the shifter rod.

EDIT: I should clarify that the bushing is at the Junction of those two rods.
