Use a dremel or a hacksaw and carefully cut a slit/groove in the top of each rivet.

Then use a flat head screwdriver to remove them.

oh and is the TPS plug and play or do you have to set it with a multimeter to the proper voltage at idle??

I dont know what the thread pitch is, because I always just reused the notched bolts.

You need to set it with a multimeter. The ignition needs to be on. Dont have the engine running while you do it.

Hook a multimeter to the red wire.
.5v at closed throttle
4.5 at wide open throttle.
