How did you manage to remove the axle and its bearing marked in the picture? And how did you manage to make the mechanical parts so shiny? Are they freshly galvanised?

Interesting - your throttle body appears to be different to mine. On mine, the part you have arrowed has no axle or bearings, it's just a blank casting. If you look closely, you'll notice the screw holes on yours are blanked off on mine . Out of interest, what does that connect to on yours?

The mechanical parts were indeed re-plated, however I can't take credit for that - it was done by member "Sagalout".

Honestly don't know, but I'm sure Sagalout will advise if you send a PM.

Thanks, that's what I'm hoping. MarinaBrian has confirmed that Haynes is wrong when they state that this may also be necessary after disconnecting the battery, so they don't have a great track record in the throttle body department, but you never know .

Cheers,
