Throttle Body Repair

Had a problem with the Wagon's engine running lean. Sprayed some carb cleaner around the throttle plate linkage and the car stalled. Checked a little further and noticed some side play in the shaft. I picked up a spare TB that was pretty corroded but had no play. Took it apart and found there was a pressed in bushing on each side of the throttle body. Using a punch from a hole transfer set, I pushed the bushing out. Did the same to the worn TB and swapped out the bushings. Vacuum leak fixed.

The bushing was worn down ~.008 on one side. I'll post the bushing part number and dimensions tomorrow. (actually later today)
