Usually its held on w/ 2 screws on the side of the throttle body:

However, its often hard to get to one or both screws and it may be necessary to remove the throttle body itself. One tip on re-installing the TPS is to replace the philips screws with allen heads, then it'll be easier to adjust in the future with a ball-end allen wrench.
