Idler arm bushing replacement

[cballard1972]

Getting the sleeve out of the idler arm, to replace the bushing. It appears to be seized in there. I tried heating it with a propane torch. Nothing. I am gonna soak it in penetrating fluid tonight.

air chizel, or press

And I have neither.lol I do have a compressor, but I do not have an air chisel.

If you get the ruber out of the center than you can use a hack saw cut almost through the bushing in a couple places. Than you can drivr it out with hamer and chizel, punch or ......

You can also get a low priced air chizel at harbor freight.

Thanks Bubba, the rubber came right out, as half of it was missing/worn. . I will give the hacksaw/chisel a try.
