The hidden throttle body bolt 200

Hi everyone,
Hoping you can help. Just trying to clean the throttle body on my newly acquired 1983 b23e 240 and am having a bit of a hard time getting to the "hidden" third bolt...any suggestions?

Happy New Years from Down Under

13mm. I use a short box wrench. Not that hard.

btw...don't spray carb cleaner in the trottle body, apply it with a rag. Soak the tps and it will be trashed.

Had to laugh about the"building up the courage"!I've actually spent some time at the Parts yard and experimented on the deceased bricks first. It came in handy with u joints on the steering column the other day.
I was going to make the carb cleaner mistake myself, glad you asked!
Another thing I have noticed and experienced is fuel pump issues after changing the filter. Happy new year, Tom
