Thanks for pointing out the throttle body.

Are you saying that with those short wrenches, you were able to loosen the EGR valve without having to remove the throttle body?

Using or knowing what wrench to use isn't the problem. I can't get my arm and the wrench into that space to loosen the nut.

Where is the throttle body and are there any guides to removing it?

I can't get a wrench into the small area where the metal pipe screws onto the bottom of the EGR valve. How are you guys doing it?

I think you're talking about the Serpentine Belt....

On the front of the alternator there is a tension adjustment bolt. Loosen that until the belt clears the pulley so that you can remove it. You don't have to remove the tension bolt, just loosen it.

I ended up sealing it up with JB Cold Weld.

I have another noob question now though. How exactly do you unscrew the main bolt at the base of the stem, the part that connects with the pipe that goes to the manifold? It's too tight to get a wrench in there, and the pipe doesn't feel like it's flexible....

I'm talking about the hole that's facing up in the small picture, in the big picture it's facing right but it's sealed/

So I guess I'll just find a bolt and washer that can fit into it and seal it up?

I bought a new EGR valve from Autozone and it has a hole on the "stem" where the stock part has a closed off stump. This is what it looks like:

This is a picture from Sinyk's thread, notice that it's closed/covered....


What's the best way to deal with it?
