Default 1989 Honda Civic Throttle Positioning Sensor

I am trying to replace a "1989 Honda Civic Throttle Positioning Sensor". I can't seem to find a tutorial online and maybe I am missing something, but I cannot find how to do this in the "Honda Civic Manual".

I was hoping that someone here in the forum could either point me in the right direction to a tutorial online or in the manual itself, or tell me how to do this.

Thank you in advance.

Officially you're supposed to replace the whole throttle body.

Unofficially you can dril out or cut slots in the tamper-resistant screws holding the sensor on, then attach a new sensor with ordinary screws. Adjust the new sensor to get 0.4 volts from the center wire to ground with the throttle closed (key on, engine not running), then tighten the screws.
