Would like some guidance on cleaning the EGR valve.
From what I can tell, there are three points where the EGR is secured. Two bolts on the right and left. I removed these easily with my socket wrench (12 mm). For the bottom, I can't seem to get any leverage to loosen the EGR valve from the base. Any help on what tool I should use? There is very little space to work in this area (between the engine and the firewall) and its looking to be a serious pain to get the thing off! I am trying to clean the EGR valve as I've recently received a CEL that pointed back to lack of air flow from the EGR. I've heard from other members on this forum that carbon build up can cause this to occur. ST204 78k -------------------- ST204

I originally went at it with a crows foot set and a breaker bar. Heard a snap.. That's why if you look above, I had a Heineken opened haha. Nothing is more depressing than breaking something and having to buy another when you have no money.
