i want to get my throttle body anodized so tonight i tried to take it apart.
i got the sensor side off, but it looks like the pull the other side off, i need to remove the butterfly. no big deal.
well, there is some sort of loctite or something being used on those screws. i gave the screwdriver hell and still couldnt break them loose.
is there a trick to this?
furthermore, after the butterfly is removed, am i correct in assuming the rest just slips off?
any insight/advice would be appreciated.
thanks!

For really tight screws you need to put the screwdriver on the screw and hit it with a hammer a few times. Then you very slightly try and tighten the screw then unscrew it. It should come off easily after this but if you strip the screw you're an ape.

i had the same problem with the little butterfly valve crap on my intake mani so i sprayed some PB on it then i took some curved needle nose pliers to the outside of each screw and loosened em up. it works, just makes the round screw a little squared.

i got the butterfly off and it looks like all i need to do now is slide the rotor assembly out of the throttle body itself, but it wont budge. am i missing something?
