Hi Q owners, Happy Holidays to all :bigthumb: . My question involves the throttle body of my 1999 Q. I want to clean the throttle body myself but find it difficult to get off. It's like I don't have room to separate it enough to spray in cleaner. I know that's not actually the problem because it has been professionally cleaned before. I want to do it myself this time, so what am I doing wrong?

Why not clean it while it is intact- remove rubber air intake tube and spray away.

My comments may have been misleading, that's actually what I'm trying to do. It seems like I can't get enough room to pull rubber intake far back enough.

Well I got it off. I'm actually late updating. I was able to get it off a couple days after my last post. Just had to keep at it and saved myself 50 bucks from a shop doing it. No more sticking gas peddle. ;)
