Right, but your throttle bodies are probably in need of bushings anyway, due to 
their age. This is a machine shop operation. They have to take the shaft and 
butterfly apart and then bore out the shaft hole and press in a bushing. If you 
have the time, the best thing to do is to just send your parts to RIMCO for 
this repair.
