When you go to put the screws back in, go to Lowes and get new ones. Because your most likely going to snap them, I did on both, they are very soft screws. So avoid the additional frustration and get them ahead of time.

Since you have the throttle body off,just take it and your TPS to the hardware store and get the screws you need.The dealer wants about four or five bucks for them.
