changing a throttle position sensor

I simply want to remove mine and replace it with a new one.
Is there any adjusting at all or do I remove and replace?

It's a simple re&re.
Make sure though that when you remove the old one you get a feel for how the spring inside move the sensor when the screws are out. You need to get the new one on the same way. It's easier to do than to explain. You would have to try really hard to install it the wrong way but I've seen people do it and then it breaks when they open the throttle.
