looking to do some fiddling this weekend, the adaptives are out as well as the t-pots so hoping to try and get it sorted, its a 4.2. i had a quick look last night and tried to disconnect the throttle linkage between the 2 banks (to set the t-pots to 15 - closed) to no avail, how is this done? (yes, i've done a search). I unscrewed the nyloc but the threaded ball-rod thing won't push through the hole, is this threaded in as well? or should the ball 'pop' out of the linkage?

also, t-pot 1 is on the passenger side from what i can tell, is this also the 1357 bank?

thanks

If you look closely at the 'ball' there should be a wire 'pin' or clip which clips on behind the ball and has a prong which pokes through into the socket, rotate this off the shank and withdraw it, you should then be able to 'pop' the ball off

thanks, didn't try the 'pull it out' bit.
