- Sun Feb 07, 2010 1:36 am #173811 Memory is fuzzy but I think you have to cut grooves with a dremel and then screw it out with a screwdriver.

It's not meant to be a replaceable item and that's why Honda doesn't sell it separately. You'll need to set it to spec using a multimeter. And you'll need a new gasket. Did your TPS come with one?

I found it much easier to get a used throttle body.
