Need Help for BBK Throttle Body - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

OK, this isn't for the Camaro. It is for my Silverado. Unfortunately its bought from autoanything, and I guess my wife misunderstood the "Direct factory replacement that requires no modification" portion of their site.

Maybe I misunderstand that?
I need to pull out the motor on my 'stock' throttle body, but it seems pretty stuck. Does anyone have advice on how to remove the motor?
I can't send back because I fell out of the "30 day return"
It was actually a gift my wife bought for me

I just wish I could get it installed

I already had to buy another throttle body due to my stock one seizing

(I took it to a shop after seeing I had to remove motor)

Should be bolts in the side of the case. Remove bolts and gently pry off the controller. I say gently as in don't bend the crap out of your gears. Hit is with WD-40 or break cleaner to get rid of some of the gunk. You can tap on the controller to loosen it if needed, but be careful.
