Anyone rebuilt their throttle body?

I would assume easier than a carb, but just curious if there was anything to watch out for, etc...

Yes I have to a degree rebuilt my 2.0 tbi. What I actually did was replace the injector and couple of orings and the main tbi gasket at the intake(did the main gasket last yr) when I did the intake gasket.Now I simply removed the screws for the fuel meter cover but,DID not unscrew the fuel pressure regulator if this makes sense,did not leak and had No problem with it.I would strongly suggest getting a chitlons manual part #7059 maybe different but,regardless its for the 82-87 jbodies and has detailed info about the how too's and what not to do.I did not replace every single oring like for the idle air,fuel inlet.I would soak the new orings with trans fluid this will keep them from drying out.I know I have prolly left off something but,its pretty simple overall and car is fine.
