Well, here we go. I bought a 52mm throttlebody off an Ebay vendor. The part looks great, I just have to swap my original IAC housing onto it. However, I CANNOT separate my 20-year old throttlebody to get that damn piece off. I snapped 4 of the 7 screws (stupid coolant passages corroded them I think) holding the IAC housing on and the gasket is completely solid. Any suggestions for getting that housing off???
