Removing the Throttle Lever.

http://dens-site.net/Dodge_CTD/Gover..._Spring_09.jpg


8mm allen wrench inserted in throttle.
Remove the external springs for the throttle and the kickdown. Remove the 8mm screw ( Note it's hollow and screwed down over the throttle shaft in the pump. Underneath it there are 2 washers. A small metal washer and a larger plastic washer that fits around the diameter of the smaller metal one. Take these off and place off to the side.

there is such a thing as a torque amplifyer wrench, i saw it once being used on a tractor... its geared to basicly be a big cheater, but small size, i saw my dad snap grade 8s with ease using it, so the question is does it work the same in loosening and where to get one by tomorrow lmao

Yeah they are gear driven things, seen one at a glance but never really paid attention to it at all. Just have to make sure all the pressure is not being put on any part of the pump. Might end up with a lot of damage that way.

By using any sort of cheater I mean, I think anyone to be insane if they use one of those on anything aluminum.
