I put my old throttle body into a Sear's Workmate with the TPS botl heads facing up. A little liquid wrench and full body weight on the bolt heads with a screwdriver got them out pretty easily without rounding out the heads. Good luck.

take a 5 min break, relax, its not the end of the world, =)

now make sure you have the best position and angle, point of attack is important with cars, lol. make sure you're loosening, and use the correct socket (i hope you're using socket, much easier) if you have to use leverage, get a hollow pipe and put it on the end of the socket wrench, and use it as leverage, or just tap the end of the wrench with a hammer.
