E350 351w throttle sticking

The throttle on my E350 (351w) sticks badly. The cable/pedal assembly is ok, and with some penetrating fluid on the butterfly shaft I get it to loosen up a bit, but it sticks again after a while.

What kind of a job is it going to be to take the assembly apart, or is this even possible?

Sounds like the bushings could be worn. I would clean the shafts and linkage with carb cleaner. The oily fluid is attracting dust and dirt and building up on the linkage
