Can you take apart the throttle body?

I am having some parts of the car powder coated and am trying to figure out if I can take the TB apart so the housing can get done. You can't do it with the rubber seals in there.
DOes anyone have a link to how to dissasemble it?
Thanks

Take off the screws in the TB blade.
Remove blade.
Take off TPS sensor.
Tap the shaft with a hammer until it falls out.

To put it back together I used a 7/16(I think) socket and tapped the ring back on the shaft.

Make sure you dont loose the very small washer under the tps sensor. Also th IAC comes out faily easy. Just make sure to pay attention how it comes apart.

Once you make sure you dont loose the washer just throw it away, thats what I do with it

However, the rubber oring thats on the IAC....need that badboy for the reassembly

AWESOME I got it apart, thanks for all the help. I will be doing the porting on it when I get it back from the powder coater.
I appreciate all the help everyone has given me. I will post pictures of what the car looks like when I am all done!

Yeah....I was wondering if that washer even did anything. I put one together without it and didn't notice any difference. I guess the shaft can't really go anywhere with the blade in there....
