None of the pieces of that component will fly out or be tricky. If you haven't removed the throttle linkage from the console be careful to note whether it has a wire retaining clip holding the socket on the ball. The clip would be easy to miss in a dark engine compartment. I just unscrew the linkage (long wire going to transmission) rather than trying to pop the linkage off the ball.
