You will need a special tool called a "fork" that pops the connection. Remove the nut at the end of the idle arm joint then put the fork in place and give it a few good hits with a big hammer. Of course you will complete the destruction of the idle arm, but you're replacing it anyway. After the joint is loose, remove the bolts from the frame and drop the idle arm and replace it.
