351 throttle body removal

Try not to cringe but I need to explain to our maintenance man how to remove the throttle body from our F-150 van. The tps is bad and I understand that removing the tb is the only way to go. Does anyone have a diagram or picture or something that i could give to him? I don't have time to remove it myself and I'm scared to let him try it without a clear explanation, ie. picture.
Thanks for the help.
Mike

It is pretty self-explanatory once you see it. There are four bolts on the corners that must be removed. Be sure to have a new gasket on hand for when the throttle body is reinstalled. Here is a picture I found, note the bolt holes in the corners of the flat part...

Dont over tighten the bolt I might have slightly done this and had to tap new ones. 12 to 15 ft/lb. on your torq wrench and you will be good to go.
