i'm a F-ing idiot... how do i take TB off?
so, i finally decide to do the TB mod today.. its warm enuf.. 45deg... anyways, i got everything i need to do it... but i spent the past hr n half tryin to take the damn TB off..
1)took the IC off
2)4 bolts holdin down the UIM
3)2 bolts on the driver side of TB on top and the one thats hidden under the "motor hook" thing (YES, i'm a new-B)
4)the connectors
after all this da damn thing wouldnt even budge... i already did a search, but it seems like everyone has no problem taking the TB off... lol.. n i only have less than 4 hrs of sunlight... HELP!

Is there any particular reason your not taking the fifth upper intake manifold bolt out??????
EDIT: If given enough money and time, I can take the throttle body off without removing the upper intake manifold. Not cost effective though.
