Its super hard.I think pressing it out from the inside would be easier(less messy to)If you can get past the fly weights in the way.Maybe tapping it out from the inside out.

Ok quik question about the LDA lever that comes down to act on the gov. plate.I was playing around with the action abit,and it seems very rigid.Is this correct?Its tight enough to make an indent in my fingertip before it moves.
Yes, I wondered that to. I tried wrapping my brain around it 'cause I wanna know how it works but it's awful confusing. If you look down behind the....wait now, I just reread yer post. You mean the little movable throttle stop? I never pushed on that 'cause I thought it would break. Look on the LDA below were the turbo boost line hooks up and you'll see a little thing with a hole in it, it's the vent for the LDA. You can suck on it and it'll pull the diaphram down simulating boost, then you can feel the little lever move a tiny bit.
HA ha ,ive successfully pushed the post out of the way of the gov. plate!
Its was easy enough with a propane torch and a punch after i took a die ginder to the little crimp on the outside ive got pics ill post soon.
Cool, Glad to see it worked for you too.
