As long as the rubber gasket is intact it should be re-useable.
do i need to get a new gasket or just use the old one...??

I'm thinking about buy a new one and replace the 5point bolts to allen just to make it easier to clean
Hey Talon, when pulling the throttle body assembly, how far do you go as far as removing sensors and brackets?
I know you have to disconnect all the sensors (obviously) but the service manual write-up isn't very helpful, LOL. It's pretty much just "Here's the throttle body; take it out".
Is it easier/recommended to disconnect any particular sensor attachments and/or brackets, like the throttle cable bracket? Or simpler just to leave as much attached as possible?
Pulling the TB tomorrow so's I can give her a good scrubbing, figured I'd ask for any last-minute tips and tricks.
There is no need to remove ANY sensor or bracket other than the IACV. Just disconnect the sensors and throttle/cruise cables and the heater lines(they will leak/drip coolant)

I just cleaned a spare IACV from an old throttle body of mine couple minutes ago using this technique and now she spins like a top. I'm stealing the sensors off for a new TB. Only thing I'd like to add to this is if you're going to use a Dremel and slot out the screws holding on the IACV, you might as well slot out the tamper-proof screws on the TPS couple inches away. My $.02
First snag:
How do you get the throttle cables to release? Once again the service manual is...less than descriptive. Where, exactly, are they hooked in? LOL, love these learning experiences!
EDIT:
Nevermind, had some road tar or something on the end of the pedal cable, was obscuring the link.
Figured it out LOL.
I loosen the locknuts and remove the cables from the cable stay. Then rotate the TB wheel by hand and slide the cable barrels out of the wheel.

Yeah, got it figured out LOL. Just trying to remove some stubborn coolant lines now, and the TPS which seems to have a rubber cover over it, so's I can't find the clip. Ugh, and the temperature here is dropping rapidly, so fingers are getting numb! :D
Jeeeebus! I just don't know how you Northerners do that shit LOL!!!
Anyone got ideas on stuck coolant lines? Don't want to rip the hose, but the two that run to the bottom of the TB are being...stubborn. :D
