I'm going to take a chainsaw to my linkage...

This damn thing wont come off. I sawed off the bottom of the bolt (which was chewed up from me trying to twist it loose) of the idler arm, where it connects to that one bar that goes between the things, ya know...

It goes under the oil pan? anyways.

I cant get the bitch off, i've bent the hell out of one tool already, and dont have any other tools available to me.

I think i'm going to take a chainsaw to it and jsut saw the whole damn right side off.

(although i dont think that would help too much....)

hehe
