EGR Valve Flow Insufficient, Gotta pass emissions Options

[estaticd]

At the bottom I have another question.... please scroll down.

Hey all, I'm just trying to troubleshoot this problem on my own, which is probably a dumb idea but the stealership wants to milk me for $400-600 to fix the problem, which is pretty much out of the question.

My mechanic says it'll be far less than that, but even still... if I can fix it on my own it will always be cheaper.

The main question I want to know is if I can just disconnect the thing alltogether, since the emissions place I am going to does not do a visual inspection... but will not pass it as long as the CEL is on, which it is, and which it has been for awhile now.

And if so, how would I go about doing this?

Someone should do a writeup on this(if one doesn't already exist), cause I know lots of people have done this, and it seems to be a fairly common problem recently, but no one can get a real answer on how to do it.
Pretty sure I need to do it as well but have no real idea how, i've never even looked for it yet.
