Idler Arm

[Whatuff]

I have a 1999 Sonoma and the shop told me the idler arm on the rightside is worn out and needs replaced. They want to charge $300.00 to replace it, but I found the part for around $50.00 or so and was wondering if anyone knows what it takes to replace it. From the looks of it, it seems simple, but are there special tools you need to replace it properly? Or can I just use a good ol' hammer and some wrenches???

 

thanks

Not entirely positive on a Sonoma, but you should be able to replace it with some wrenches and a good pickle fork, if it's JUST the idler arm. The pitman arm will require unbolting the steering box. Oh, and a lift will make this ALOT easier.
