Default Quick Radix question

If I pull the TB intake off the Radix will it trash the gasket? I'm going to replace the throttle position switch and can't get to the screws with it on the Radix. Getting ready to start, need fast answer

The gasket should be fine.

"should" be able to take it off, just take it slow and easy.
