hello all!
how hard is it to change the idler arm on a 1997 montero "pajaero"
any special tools i may need?
ive been trying to get a service manual but no luck on finding one.


Welcome!

Other than your basic tools you'll need a 3 - 4 lbs sledge hammer (to hit it and knock it off).

As for a factory service manual (FSM), the 96 manual on Mitsubishilinks.com will probably be close enough for most needs.

HTH.
