Welcome!
This is a write up on replacing the bushings on a tail shift.
Those balls pop off but I don't remember how difficult it was.

914rubber.com has the spherical bushings. As I remember I cracked the old ones and removed them. Then I boiled the replacement , put the metal pieces in a vice and popped the round plastic bushing on with a rubber mallet.

As well as a few other components. I can PM you a complete list if you wish. While it's out, it's worth doing the firewall bushing too.
