[warlord]

I took apart the tps unit and took the 1 screw off the plate that holds the seal in place, but thats as far as i went, am i doing this wrong

Would be a lot easier to do off the car 2 screws hold the butterfly in you will not get the shaft out like that!

Also, if I remember correctly, the screws that hold the blade in place are peened so they don't fall out accidently, they may not come out real easily either.

I just had mine all apart, the screws weren't peened and came out quite easily. I strongly recommend using loctite if yours aren't peened.

Believe you use a threaded rod with large flat sealing washers each end + nuts. Tighten them slowly & evenly being careful to ensure the seals go in square & evenly are full seat

Suggest you contact Steve Munroe.

Am sure he can supply the seals as well.

According to the thread title

Remove old seals

Insert new seals

Sorry, been a long day.

Can one use a Transmission Seal Tool to remove and install new seal?

Just google the subject and you will get many websites with pictures. I found this one. there is also a u-tube video. http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-ho...64-how-replace-throttle-body-shaft-seals.html
I have to admit, I just let my mechanic do it. $75 later I was good to go. But it doesn't look very hard to do.

x-2 with the Steve Monroe suggestion...they are 62mm as well as new seals and he mods the screws in the blade holder too. Mine has been great for maybe 10 years.
