I just started tearing apart my throttle body (replacing it with a 65mm) I got the 4 bolts off and I can figure out how to get the throttle cable off and the damn throttle body wont come off the egr spacer any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

the cable just pops off, you kinda twist it and it comes loose. the TB and EGR are probibly just corroded together a bit because water runs there... once you get the cable off and get it out on a table you'll be able to break them apart

 

with the throttle cable just use a flat head screwdriver and pry it apart from underneath the throttle body.
same process with the egr spacer. maybe get a 65mm spacer to match?

 

i got the throttle cabe off (thanks guys) But that damn egr spacer doesnt want to come off, I took off the egr so is there any thing else that that might be hanging it up? Am I going to have to just pry the egr off? I sprayed with wd40 hopeing it would get into the cracks and loosen the the crap thats holding it on. Thanks for the help so far by the way.

 

tap on it with something like the wood handle of a hammer or a rubber hammer! It will come off.

 

these studs are all rusted to hell, im thinking about just pull them.

 

Im pretty sure its not the studs that are holding it on its probably the gasket! You can take them out to clean them if you want.

 

alright everything is put back together, one last thing where is the throttle plate hard stop?

 

Thanks guys for all the help, the throttle body works great and I called professional products up and they talked me through setting the idle (the instructions suck) The throttle responce is much better now and a nice sotp performance increase.
