Sorry guys was working all day in the yard yesterday and didn't get online.
So, I removed the screws. They came out nice and easy. Then I put the TB in my vice because the shaft would not come out easily. Like it was wedged in there so frikkin tight. I considered putting it in my press but didn't think that would be a good idea. I was tapping (with a shot-peen hammer) the metal end of the shaft where the TB sensor bolts and when I removed the spring, the blades must have gone askew and started to bind up.
That shaft was thoroughly pressed in.
Thanks for fixing the TB for me Tony. You have no idea how much that means to me. I am curious how you guys managed to remove it?
Honestly, i'm a thinker. I do learn by breaking stuff but it surprised me how so many of you were able to do the shaft swap easily. There was no way with regular tools, to remove it. So it wasn't likely that I damaged it because of ignorance.
