Can't remove throttle body????

Hey I'm losing my head over here trying to remove the throttle body but for some strange reason it will not come off?? I removed the four bolts, hoses everything attached to it; it's practically suspended in air and it will not come off?? Is the gasket glued on? Should I use a hammer?

Idk, any help would be appreciated!!

THANK YOUUUU!

Welcome to AZine!

Just tap it on the side with a rubber mallet, then pull.

It's probably a little stuck. Just tap it with a hammer.

Tap it with a rubber mallet/dead blow hammer. It will break loose.

Any reason why you are taking the TB off?
