I feel my idle stumbles at times because things are not rotating easily enough nor springing back to their rest position. I would like to get in there and clean things up and lube the pivot points of the butterfly valves and throttle linkage as well as the two main springs.

If someone knows of a step by step process for removal indicating what comes off and in what order, I'd love to look it over. Not likely the hardest thing to figure out, but thought it was worth asking about. Service manual perhaps? Current version with photos would be ideal.
I did a lot of work on my engine last summer and dealing with the throttle body was one thing. I had a high idle at around 1000-1100 RPM and the culprit turned out to be worn out deceleration springs on the throttle body (Thanks to Dave's recommendation). After I replaced it with a NOS part, my idle as been factory perfect at 750 RPM and never stumbles.

I did some write ups that might help you along:

This one had to do with initially removing it. It's very simple to do and I used the intake manifold removal guide from DMCtalk. That guide is perfect and you'll find links to it in my blog.

This one has pictures of my bad decel springs and details swapping out the entire unit for the NOS one.
