Removing TB, any online guide?

This project is past due. Had to order and wait for the new TB gasket for this project. Now my mother has lost her repair manual for her car.

All I need to do is install a new TPS. But to get to the screws, I am told I need to remove the throttle body. Now I have the gasket, but no manual. I am on a tight budget and would hate to have to spend $30 just for this job.

I am hoping this is an easier than it looks job.

Any online DIY? Does it require any specialty tools?

I am about to break down and buy a new book. But in my experience, these books lack vital details.

Thank you to the pros who have done this!

Found this, but it is rather vague and lacks illustration.

It's pretty easy, and I don't think the Haynes manual has much info on it anyway.

Remove the air box, disconnect the throttle cable, disconnect the electrical connectors on the TB, remove the coolant hoses on the bottom of the TB, unscrew the bolts holding the throttle body, and pull it out. You'll need a pan to catch the coolant fluid that will spill. I ended up flushing all the coolant fluid and refilling with fresh fluid when I did this.

The only thing I can't remember is if the TPS needs special torx bits to remove off the TB.
