[V8] Timing Belt Saga 4.5

[Jeremy Ward]

The TPS (throttle position sensor) is held in place by 2 phillips screws.
Just remove them and swing the TPS off the end of the accelerator shaft and
out of the way.  Note that it is adjustable via these 2 screws (loosen them
slightly and rotate it cw / ccw as needed).  Make sure to put it back pretty
much where you removed it from (the picture you took should help).

Cheers,

- Jeremy

So, after Dave Head's suggestion I attack the camshaft pulleys with a 2X4
angled at 45 degrees struck three times with a big hammer, I got the
pulleys loose.  Good tip to remember.  I'd been beating on them with a
deadblow hammer and not getting anywhere.

Now I've encountered yet another problem.  The top center bolt on the
waterpump housing broke off in its hole:

arrow pointing to it.  It couldn't be one that's out in the open, it had to
be the only bolt that cannot be approached dead-on for drilling out.   What
all am I going to have to remove to get a clear shot at that bolt?
