Help-What's the trick for removing gear arm from center link?

it helps if you take the tie rod off the other side so the center link can "pivot" on the idler arm, if that makes sense (at least it helped me out).

Make perfect sense. Good info...will do that. Thanks again.

I use this tool. Slip it on tighten the bolt, then use a small tap with a hammer. It almost never damages a seal. I have used it over 30 years on countless cars.

Can't say I ever saw that piece KitCarlson. Very cool. Do you know what it's called?

Thanks,
Pat
