i got lots of questions here i just started taking the tps sensor off and i got the throttle body loose and the coolant drained and called it a night.
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated since im really inexpierienced when it comes to this stuff.
My question for now is how do you get the throttle linkage off the throttle body? and how do i get the throttle body away from the egr spacer it seems stuck?

The throttle body will seem stuck, but it's not. Just take them off as a unit and pull them apart. As for the linkage, I believe it's just a pop on deal, if I'm remembering correctly. Should be able to just pop it off of the tb linkage.

you might want to think about leaving it on and just setting it aside out of the way, that way you dont have to reset your idle and tps voltage

Between the throttle body and the EGR there is a gasket, just get a flat blade screwdriver to help pry them apart. Use that same screwdriver to pop off your throttle linkage. Be careful with the lower manifold on the front passenger side, mine snapped in half when I was trying to take it out, it runs through the coolant passage ways. Be sure to tag your all of your vacuum lines also. To remove the stock upper intake manifold remove the 5.0 HO plate (on the center of the manifold), remove those two long bolts and remove the 4 around the outer edges of the manifold. I would also suggest getting all new injector o-rings as a few of them will probably tear while you're removing your injectors. Good luck! Also if you've got the time I'd get ARP bolts.

Well, the TF manifolds come with installation kits with all new hardware right? I just baught the installation kit seperatly from summit for like $20 bucks.

I got mine second hand so I'm not really sure, I don't think that they come with the lower manifold bolts though.

No, the kid doesnt come with them.

My trickflow stuff came with all hardware. I think you are gona need a special nut size for the intake because of clearance issues. It is very tight for the upper to lower bolts on the drivers side.
