Hammer and chisel it out then sandblast it clean before reinstalling with some JB Weld. Here's a pic of me performing the procedure:

1999 ML430
got it
Finally able to get catch to release on the top, twisted it toward back of engine and catch came off. Catch is 1/2 circle that hooks over a bump on opposite sides of attachment on throttle body
