what do u guys use to remove the idler arm from the center link? I tryed a BFH and still it won't come loose, I don't want to use a ball joint fork tool because it might ripp the boot, also don't wanna buy a puller because its too expensive just for this one task.. any suggestions???

Heat it up with a torch and use a puller. Thats what I had to use to pop mine loose.
