Hey,  
I realize it’s quite straight forward but i was wondering if anyone could potentially break it down for me, unfortunately i don’t have a manual to guide me.

But just basic steps, from beginning to end and the necessary tools (KA24DE)  
Thanks alot, much appreciated.

hmm… well I just did it on my SR. If they’re similar it should be pretty simple. Just un plug any lines or hoses from the throttle body and then there’s 4 allen bolts you undo and then give it a light wack with a rubber mallet to break it lose.

Alright so i removed it to replace my TPS but came across a couple problems.  
First i was told that whether AUTO/MANUAL the TPS’ are interchangable  
You will also notice one of the screws were snapped, not by myself but will that effect anything?
