How to Remove the EGR

[BoogerBurns]

I have the check engine light for the EGR again. I replaced the lift sensor again. I think its time to take it off and clean it. Please help. I stripped all of the bolts at the junkyard. I dont want to do that to mine. HELP!!!! :help:

penetrating oil and let it sit 20 minute at least. overnight for best results. Don't saturate it.

I pulled all bolts out of metal vacuum line holder on intake, pull bracket bolt next to egr holding hose between vc and intake tube. I then use a 1/4" 12mm socket with a universal and an extension. Plenty of PB Blaster on the EGR retaining nuts. They were seriously tight the first time I pulled it.

:werd: that's how I got mine off, felt like it was about to break my 1/4 drive crafstman, but the nuts finally broke free

get a 6-sided socket (those that come shaped in the inside as a nut/bolt head

Those allow applying greater force than the regular ones that take the nuts at the edges.
Penetrating oil will help too

I will deff take this into account. And when I get it off, I should soak the bottom end of it in carb cleaner and then put it back on? Is that how to help it out? Or Am I missing something.

I used a 1/4 inch 12 mm 6 sided socket with extension. Blasted it with some oil first. Easy! Moved the vaccum lines and stuff out of the way first.
