Thanks guys. I got that little T shaped part out of the valve body tongiht. Its amazing what you can do once the fear is gone. Also the kit came with new like you said (image 2).
In the third image below (the piston with the long spring) I had to apply heat to get that out. Its supposed to more freely.
The last image is of the throttle body. All the little brass screws holding the flaps to the shaft are going to need heating also as they are all stuck. I put some PB Blaster on them but I am not expecting it to help much.
