Wrenching now…..throttle body

I can’t get to bottom screw closest to fire wall that connects the throttle body to the UIM. The oil lines are in the way(I think)

There are no oil lines back there, only coolant.

You're supposed to remove the UIM first. I don't think it's possible to remove the TB with it in place.

you have to remove the UIM first. It's gonna be nearly impossible to remove TB like that. Couple of bolts, hoses and a bracket, and the UIM should come off.
