changing throttle bodys
Loosen the clamp on the bellows connected to the TB and remove the lid and MAF assembly all together. Pull the vacuum line off and remove the 3 - 10mm bolts and the TB will come right off. Reverse the process to go back together. It's pretty easy to do. If you need to carry your IAC sensor and throttle position sensor just unscrew them and move them over. Let me know if you have any questions and we can get you fixed up!
Thanks!

To get the cable off you just slide it off the pin (don't pull on it outwards, but pull in a direction towards the front of the throttle body.). I know that sounds weird but I don't know how else to describe it.
Just checked for a write-up with pictures and found one. Disconnecting the battery is not 100% necessary (I never do) but not a bad idea:

The coolant hoses passing through the TB can be a real pain in the *** to get off as well. If you've got some form of a small hook you can slide in the hose to break it loose, it makes life a lot easier.
Other than that, it shouldn't a beginner wrencher more than 10 minutes to get a TB off.
