I just did this last night and it was really easy (1/2 hour tops) you may need a pickle fork to pry the joint between the inner tie rod and the idler arm (so you can get the jaws of the pitman arm puller in)

Just out of curiosity, where does the other bushing go? I never really looked at my idler arm, just ripped the whole thing off and shoved it in the trash along with the rest of the steering system.
Looking from the image of the MOOG arm, I don't see where is would go. I always thought the moog piece did away with the bushing in exchange for a ball joint.
