removing egr

[quach]

im trying to replace my egr valve, but i cant seem to get to one of the two bolts that hold it to the intake manifold, and i cant get a good angle to get at the egr tube because of the firewall and all the crap surrounding the valve. does anyone have tips on how to get that thing out of there?

I am having the same trouble with the tube but I did get the second bolt off. I used pb blaster first then I removed the egrc valve where its bracket connects to the intake manifold. This gives you just enough room to get the second bolt out and as for the tube I'll let you know.
