s5 tps removal bottom screw?
Does anyone have any tips for removing a TPS on an S5? My current one is going bad and I have a replacement. I figured replacing would be simple but there appears to be a bottom screw on the TPS that is a b**** to get out. From what I have searched most people only have two screws in their TPS but mine has a third one. There is very little clearance to get under it, so far I have tried a few different right angle screw drivers which is about all that will fit under there with my hand. It feels like either a phillips or a stripped out flat head. I am trying to avoid removing the entire throttle body for part that shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to install. Any help or tips would be appreciated. thanks

your TPS must be original! you need to remove the throttle body, remove that screw, and not put it back like everyone else.
on an S5 the throttle body will come off without taking the manifold apart, its tight, but it will wiggle out

the part i’m touching seems to be the reason it is not coming off but i’m not sure what it does so i’m hesitant about taking it off.
