I'd like to remove the throttle body from my 92 740 B230F, but one of the three bolts for the TB is obstructed by the TPS (doesn't seem like anyone else has this problem, maybe I'm going about things the wrong way). My second problem is the removal of the TPS. I can get the two smaller screws out for the TPS, but there is some resistance when I try remove it. Does the TPS lift straight off its mount (towards the firewall in my case). The switch itself seems rather delicate and I didn't want overdo it and break it.

Thanks in advance for any assistance

Usually a wrench will get the nut off behind the TPS. And for the TPS it should pull right off.The o-ring might be stuck to the throttle body.
