tb shaft seals?

[tips000]

when i did a blt i was getting bubbles out of the side of the throttle body from the spring that pulls the throttle back shut when you let off the thottle. this means tb seals right? how long will it take for my first time? do i need anything else other than the seals (gaskets? new screws/clips?)

thanks

Yes, that would mean they would need replaced. It could take a while for your first time - a couple hours possibly.

The hardest part for me doing it was getting the spring rewound, stabbed myself atleast 3 times. You might also want to replace the isc o-ring while you're at it. I found that the previous owner of mine felt he didn't need the o-ring and it's a major major leak.
