Hello /diy/
I have a throttle body that I want to disassembly because of reasons. Of course I want as less damage as possible.
Unfortunately all the levers seem to be brazed or welded to the both shafts.
Has anybody an idea how I can get the levers of the shafts without totally destroying the parts? Is there a good way to test if the parts are welded or brazed?

I don't know, they don't look welded to me. Clean it up. If you can't figure out how it's fixed on, try dremel'ing it loose, then re-weld it. It'll work just fine if you do it right.
i have taken apart any electronic throttle bodies
are you trying to rebuild it or harvest it for parts?
Are there screws that hold on the throttle plate? It may be torx or philips, and if its the latter it will strip very easily. Heat it up, and use your freshest phillips screwdriver.
The smaller shaft in the first pic has a circlip that is holding it in place. I can't see if the larger has one, maybe the ends are on the other side where we cant see. I doubt it's welded in but I'm pretty sure whatever fastener it has is on the outside end. Also pretty sure you will pull them out of the assembly they're in from the side of those gears.
