Default Cleaning Throttle Body

I was wondering if it was fairly easy to clean the tb on my 88 GT. I know u probably just unbolt the thing, but I wanna make sure there aren't any little secrets or anything for doing it.

You can do it without even removing it if you have someone hold down the throttle for you. But you will be able to do a more thourogh job if you take it off.

Do it while it's on the car, that way you don't have to buy a new gasket.

Granted, it's not for a stang, but it shows you what is entailed with it.
