I am going change the shaft on the right side throttle body . So what is trick in removing the silver cap on the outboard side ?
 
Pry it off, slowly, with a small screwdriver. It's just a press fit. Just work slowly around the circumference.
 
Count on Paul Mulhern to be gentle.

The crude method is to grab with pliers and mangle it off - then put on a new one. This method is faster.

Paul's method is cheaper. :)

Got a new cap in the kit from Bing today. Pliers worked. Thanks
