Having issues with my throttle position sensor

[babybudistmonk]

has anyone replaced a throttle position sensor on their mustang? I'm trying to replace mine and the screws turn REALLY hard. I was wondering if they used a type of lock tight at the factory when they put them in, or some kind of locking system. Also, there is a small label on the throttle body that claims your not supposed to clean the inside of it. seems kind of weird so i was wondering if anyone knows why that is? thanks!

I had a hard time getting mine off to, took me about a hour and a half. Asked around and everyone keeps telling me they used lock tight to keep it from moving and throwing the idle and rpm speed off.

yep, that was my problem too. I dont know what they used, but holy cow it took some effort to break loose. I got it tho and the stang is running better than it ever has!
