[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 429277, member: 19498"] FYI when i decided it would be a good idea to replace my TPS I could not get the torx screws loose and destroyed the heads of the screws. I had to remove the TB and carefully grind off the heads to where I could slip off the TPS leaving a 1/4" or so of stud left screwed into the TB. Then I soaked with release agent and worked whats left of the screws back and forth very little at a time with vise grips until they came out. I Was pretty sure they were gonna snap off flush with the TB edge so be gentle. Yes, they are locktited in by the factory. [/QUOTE]
