Broken Throttle Body Post

[LeeAb]

I'm hoping this is easily replaceable without taking apart the intake manifold.

Can anyone help me with a replacement part number?

And - is it as simple as screwing the broken post out and replacing with the new one.

Thanks in advance!!

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that is exactly how that works. If you look at the one that is still intact, it has a hex on the end? So, try grabbing the broken stub with vise grips and see if it turns. Don't wrench ******* it, you don't want to break any plastic bits if this is not the correct way to do it.

Good luck.

Thanks! It looks like vise grips will work for removing the broken stud.

My biggest problem now is finding a replacement.

I'm hoping someone knows or can look up the part number.

After researching online and making some calls, I was told that GM 89017591 is the item I'll need.

Order is placed and I should have it in a week.

Now I'm just hoping they're correct.

For some reason, I couldn't find a picture of it.

Thanks!
