On the bottom back of the grip , there is a small hole. Use a punch the same size and push the button on the plug in to unlock the plug . Pry it out gently.

hi , use both hands one at 2 o clock and one at 8 o clock position at the same time yank it out ! if it is installed for a long time you may need to use some kind of spray lubricant like WD-40 around the edge but it is best not to use any thing so when you installed it back it will not pop out if you drive over a pump good luck :)

We used a Putty Knife and a screwdriver! lol old school- there is a rubber pad between the emblem and the car, it just needs to be popped off.

I've taken mine off several times , you're probably not loosening it enough. It should get loose enough to just lean it to the side and it will come right off. If that doesn't work take it to a gunsmith , it'll cost you next to nothing for him to remove it. That's way too good of an Optic to play around and damage it.

You'll have to gently twist and pull. It should come off fairly easily. It may take some wiggling back and forth, but then you should be able to twist it off.

Hi John. I bought this hoping that I wouldn't have to replace the whole throttle body as you are probably trying to do. As I recall, the position of the slot relative to the body cannot be changed, it is spring loaded. I had hoped to install it, adjust the position by turning the body, and then securing it with the screws when I got the position right based on the idle, but I could not get it to work. The idle was too high and I could not bring it down. The local shop couldn't adjust it either, apparently they are calibrated together at the factory. I ended up having to buy a whole new throttle body assembly. Hi John. I bought this hoping that I wouldn't have to replace the whole throttle body as you are probably trying to do.

just twist it on with your hand. It will tighten when you ride. To remove it however you need an acs crossfire key(removal tool)

I actually haven't put them on yet. I can't seem to get the old one off. Just the vw symbol that was glued on has come off. Sorry - not helpful.

the blade on the new unit is integrated within the case(actually it was also on your original key before braking), so if you want to remove the blade it would damage. Sometimes only the back of the key is damage in which case you may probably change only the back to your old key

It is not ment to be removed. But if you are handy you can open it up and replace it. I have not changed mine it seems to work just fine.

Hmmm... it's looks like a permanent friction fit. I tried to lightly pull it apart, but it doesn't seem to want to do that. If this thing popped open, you should probably try to glue it back together, unless it's still returnable. Note that the head unit is adjustable , as a sort of cheap ratchet. You will probably want to make sure that is still functional.

You won't be able to just pry it off, without risking damage to your dash. It can and I did remove one with adhesive remover. Work it around the edges with q-tip. A real light oil will work also.

You are in the right spot, but getting the battery cover off is a difficult job. Even the maintenance man where I live had ahard time getting it off with a flat screwdriver! I taped the screw to the bottom of the disc and just set the battery cover back in place. This was the only fault I found with this item.

No, you don't need to remove it. it has a plug about 4 inches from the wheel. You just unplug it. tuck it into the cover and go. quick and simple.

I removed the lower intake and did the lower intake gasket at the same time, I bought a Felpro lower intake kit. The kit contained all the seals and o rings for the fuel injector assembly and a new metal retaining clip for the main block of the fuel injector. The two parts of the manifold I cleaned with throttle body cleaner. The deposits under the throttle blade I carefully scraped off with a knife and used throttle body cleaner. Any o rings that had to slide into position I lubricated with a pure silicone, but you could use liquid soap, it's just to make it slippery. I also recommend changing the heater hose connector on the lower intake gasket while it's apart. Also this is the exact kit I ordered.

Just used a wrench. I had limited corrosion around it I guess so it came off with the use of a wrench and a cheater bar
