  1. Gday Guys,

    I recently had an issue of my throttle not closing. I removed the linkage and found it was the rear butterfly holding open a little. I also had leaking valve oil seals on this cylinder which I've changed too.

    So I have today tried to remove the shaft that holds the plate and I cannot get it to move more than 1mm. I have removed the plate and removed the shaft seal but cannot see anything else that may be holding this in place other than whatever is holding it a little stiff in rotation. I have even had a set of vice grips on the end of it pulling on it and cannot get it to move.

    Is there something else I am missing before being able to pull this shaft?
