94 Throttle Body Help needed

[ssjones]

Cross posting here in hopes of getting some advice. No one on the LeSabre forum seems to have any input, I'm getting desparate!
I'm hoping someone with a V6-3.8L has had experience removing the throttle body (on my '94 LeSabre).
See relevant thread information at:

Any help appreciated, that TB has to come off for the new Throttle Position Sensor.

autozone.com/repairinfo for step by step, just enter you car in the repair info section.

Thanks for idea. I have the Haynes manual, the Autozone repair info is even more generic:
"Unfasten the TP sensor's attaching screws, then remove the TP sensor from the throttle body."
Yeah, right!
Another list member said he got a few off with an offset screwdriver, I'm going back in now for a 2nd attempt.

Remove the throttle linkage, mounting bracket, unplug sensors and remove screws, how hard is that?

Well a month ago, it was challenging. There is no need to remove any linkage, just unplug TPS sensor, remove four bolts and bingo. Unfortunately one mounting bolt is covered by a bracket, which runs directly behind the exhaust manifold. Couldn't get a socket on it or a wrench. A 13 mm stubby wrench just got it off, of course I didn't own a set of stubby wrenches. I do now.
