Info on replacing idler arm

[Kermit]

Any tips or tricks? Done it before, not on a FMJ. 60 ft lbs for the frame side and 40 ft lbs for the drag link? Puller or pickle fork? Any issues with the bolt on the frame side? I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow night and I just noticed while changing the oil. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

A puller is preferred but,,,,,,since you are replacing it anyways, a pickle fork would be acceptable. No issues with the bolt.

Thanks again, went in without a hitch. Worst one I've ever seen, glad I caught it.
