Poly bushing isn't hard to change.. and recommended.

You'll basically have to grind off the rivets that hold on the rubber pieces. Clean up "cam shell" with a file, then reinstall using the poly mount.

It can be done with Jack stands. You want the rear in the air. But, I prefer to do it on a lift.

Remove the TA, then take off the TA mount. Take off the rubber pieces.

No, you don't need a rivet gun.

Where did you get the Poly bushing/mount?

Most our sponsors sell the bushings.

You reuse your stock bracket.

I do believe on a A4 you need to lower the rear of the tranny, I think at least one of the bolts that holds the bushing bracket in place is to long to remove without lowering the tranny. Here's a link that shows how to seperate the bracket, http://www.bmrfabrication.com/instructions/ta001.htm .
