Huge thread Necro, will be cleaning my throttles and this thread has been a help. Quick question, how do you remove the butterfly shaft? Do I need a press to remove it and the bearings? Unfortunately whoever owned before me put copious amounts of liquid gasket under the end plates to try and seal them. I have scraped it all back but trying to remove the butterfly shaft has been useless, it feels locked in. Don't want to brake it but I think if I can get it lined up in a press it should just press straight out correct? Thanks
