Angry Remove TPS from 94 possible? lol

How in the HELL does this tps come off?? Looks like screws holding it on, BUTTT theres no heads on them? Can't get them out with a pair of pliers either because they aren't sticking out far enough to grab ahold of... any suggestions?

I think those ARE screws. Cut a slot with a dremel tool & use a screwdriver to get them out.

They are shear bolts. Either cut a slot in them as JimBlake stated or use a center punch and hammer.

Here is a link on how to remove the two shear bolts with a center punch and hammer (it is actually very easy and fast to do, probably less than a minute for each shear bolt).

Didn't read the link from redbull...but the biggest thing you need to worry with is the proper setting of the new tps - you will need a volt meter and some time to get it right.

Some people say they were able to use a flat head screwdriver and hammer, to turn shear bolts outs; using the same method as with the center punch.
