I have everything off. How do I get the TB off the IM? I got the 4 bolts out but it is stuck on pretty good. I am afraid to pry. Any tricks?

 

You sure you have all the bolts out . . . if so you can try giving it some firm taps with a rubber mallet . . . assuming it's just frozen on . . . which can happen.

The gasket material is just vulcanized, just tap it like RUF87 suggested.

 

i had to tap on it w/ a rubber mallet and work at it for a while to get it off.


it will come off though.

 

I got it off and completed the install. I cranked it up and everything looked and sounded good. I will modify the cover to fit later. I did not take it for a spin yet.

I spen a couple hours cleaning the outside today. I have not clean it since before Thanksgiving. It looked to good and I did not feel like moving my truck to go for a spin. I but the car cover on and will take it out later.
