It comes out pretty easy...remove the motor mounting bolts so the motor will pull out and expose the hemi joint for the main linkage arm. The joint is plastic and snaps apart fairly easily. There is no need to remove the short idler arm on the motor as it is somewhat pressed on.



I took mine off about 3 weeks ago so I cant remember if there was a release tab or anything, but i can check when I get home.
