    I originally used the 6 point and tried with an wrench when that wouldn't work. I think because of the angle it would not sit on the bolt right and stripped it

    It's not the hard work I'm scared of. I don't think I'm capable of doing it or I would of instead of taking this route. So cut the bolt as it sits flush fully screwed in.

    Looks like instructions up untill this part. Am I missing something? Seems like there is a second half of the TB left?

    The steps seem to show only the removal of the first half of the throttle body. I might be mistaking but looks like there is a whole other section of the throttle body left aftwr you remove what's instructed
