The idler arm is free

At the top of the vertical link
(suspension #32) is another ball joint assembly. As you can see here, the rubber boot disintegrated along time ago. I've removed the nut and managed to free the vertical link on the top. I can now lift up the top control arm (suspension #9) and pull out the vertical link if needed, but I'll hold it here until I've taken care of the bottom.

Remove all the bolts from the lower wishbone arms (suspension #102,103)
