Default Porting a throttle body

I am planning on porting my thottle body and I came across these instructions

http://www.geocities.com/wilwaxu/throttlebody.html

I was curious, is it fairly simple to pull the shaft on a vette throttle body?

yea it is a simple job. Take the two screws out for the TPS and pull it off, then you will see a flat washer that is slid over the shaft. You have to pull the washer off. I done one that I couldn't get the washer out so I just tapped on the end of the shaft to drive the shaft out so theat way the washer was forced off. You will see what I'm talking about after you get the TPS off. Oh yea, take the two screws out for the blade.
