1991 Buick Regal hard shifts

Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)

Probably not, With the engine off, you just press the button where the cable attaches to the TB and then open the throttle all the way. It usually takes quite a bit of force to push the button in.

Ya, grab the head of the screw with a pair of visegrips and loose. Then spin them out by hand. You won't have to take off the exhaust using that method. I'm sure there's a tool for it.
