take off the TPS sensor, take out the throttle blade... then tap the shaft on the TPS sensor side... this ring clips it in place... just keep tapping it and it comes out.
once you tap it out, its easy to cut the shaft...... a friend of mine in the local club has ported a few of them for club members and hes helping me do mine....
Yes, its a press fit, so beating it out with a BFH is how i got mine out... However, rather than cutting half the bar, why not gring it down a little thinner on both sides, but leaving some meat where the screw heads and threads are. You can getthat bar pretty thin.

and the thread engagement is the same with the untouched backside bar......

want to tough at all..Thanks for all the help guys.
Pretty good job dude, not enough left that can be done to it to warrant taking it back apart but it is a little hard to see exact detail in pix. Car looks like it'l rip your head off and crap down your throat!

Yeah man, once you get the skill level up to doin one right you get done with the first one and "see" room for improvement on the next one. There are certain ways you can port one to get what needs to be got and not take anything too far(like the concave casting on the bottom outside of the TB thats real thin were the "lip" is) and be consistent each time but that will come with practice like anything else.
