Remove throttle body

Remove throttle body
Hi all, bear with me please as I don't have any manuals yet (in the post!) but I can't for the lift of me figure out how to remove the throttle body for cleaning. I can see the bolts but cannot reach them with a socket or spanner, even using a universal joint. Does the entire manifold have to come off or the post which attached the throttle cables? It's an 89 3.6 xj40.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
Welcome to the Jaguar Forums! It's great to have you with us.
To remove the throttle body I find it easiest to use a 1/4 inch drive ratchet, 6-inch extension and 10mm socket:
The series of photos at the link below shows how I removed and cleaned our TB and the EGR port:
