moving throttle body to get to 3rd screw on VIAS?
There is absolutely no way I will be able to remove the 3rd screw, located at the bottom right of the VIAS assembly without moving the throttle body. How many screws are on the TB to move it, and where are these screws? Also, is the gasket compromised beyond re-use if I move the TB?
Thanks
Thanks

OK I got the screws off without even removing the TB. Does anyone know the bolt thread pattern that is used here? I am going to replace all the bolts, especially because the heads on 2 of them were destroyed in the process.
EDIT: They use M6 bolts. M6x1.00 thread pitchx20mm length, 10mm head

I expect to get them at my local Canadian Tire today. Ill let you know if I get them there...though I don't think you guys have that store in Florida. If you really cannot find them, let me know and Ill buy and ship them to you. You will have to just pay the cost of shipping and actual screws.

yeah it's a real pain the butt. Helps if you have a friend hold the throttle up.
How was your VIAS looking? When I tried, I had all the screws but one removed.. couldn't get it - was on too tight and it was getting too stripped. I'll have to take it off eventually, but I was too pissed off to keep trying.
