Red face Help removing intermediate throttle body

Help! I'm attempting to replace the pop-off valve gaskets in my '88 930 and am currently stuck trying to remove the intermediate throttle body. I've unbolted/loosened everything that I can see and yet the $#!@ still wont budge. I haven't removed all of the hoses but they are all loosened. What am I doing wrong?

Success at last

After a couple of beers, things seemed a lot easier. The throttle body was secured on the butterfly valve with a o-ring (press fit). After removing all of the hoses, I was able to wiggle it out.

While rebuilding the pop-off valve, I noticed that there was a bit of oil in the valve assembly itself, coating the piston, spring, etc. Is this normal?

Perfectly normal. Crankcase is venting into intake and there is always oil there.

Thanks Goran. I was concerned that my turbo bearings were starting to go.
