[QUOTE="54First, post: 15074567, member: 110504"] I had the same problem. They aren't available separately. If it's the same part as a stock throttle body, buy a used TB without electronics for ~$40 (?). Doesn't seem cost effective, but whatcha gonna do? The part is put in with some ungodly awful threadlocker. Spray it with penetrating oil and let it sit overnight. Then start to unscrew it. Turn it back and forth gently and use more penetrating oil. Do that all the way out as if you were tapping a hole. NEVER give into the urge to turn it a little harder. Get your broken one out however you can then clean up the threads with a tap (I forget the size, but it's SAE, not metric). Maybe clean the good one with a die. Put some Loctite #425 (for plastic to metal) on the threads, adjust the screw before it hardens and you're done. Good luck. Steve [/QUOTE]
