Cant remove EGR pipe from header

[Jonnyblaze]

Trying to remove the header but I cant seem to get the EGR pipe disconnected from it. Ive tried using penetrating oil but I still cant get it off. Any tips?

open end wrench. pb blaster the hell out of it, loop another wrench onto the top of yoru open end wrench to make an extension.

I had to buy a 24mm (iirc) pipe wrench. Then I put a torch to it and bent it to get it to work. Let the penetrating oil soak for a while!

Good luck.

deuceforty has the right idea and less work. extending the wrench works great!!! make sure to lube it up nice though. its a b**ch to get off though i went through the same thing to put my old hotshot headers on.

Ive been using kroil which is supposedly good stuff and I just had a guy whos 6'3 220lbs (im like 5'9 138lbs) and he still couldnt get it... Not quite sure what you mean by extending the wrench.

Lets see first off you fail for running an egr just block it off. Cut the tube and take the whole header off (its much easier) Then put a socket on their and zip it off with an impact. Ive had to do this many of times. If you still want to run an egr ill sell you a new tube+valve for $5.00 plus shipping just to help you out. :love:

If he can't get it off, how do you expect him to put it back on?:p

just cut it off and buy another. theyre only like 25 bucks. then get anti-cease. its easy to remove from the other side too.

the muffler shop could not get mine off. told me to cut it and use rubber hose per picture. has worked fine for couple months.

pipe wrench worked for me...you wont ever be able to put a box wrench on it again, but still, it grips on there like a mofo. if need be bust out the bfh and put thunder down on that wrench to get it going

I got mine off having hard time putting it back on....
shoudla just ran block off...anyone know what tubs need to be plugged after u block it off? also how to prevent the check engine light ffrom comming on making car run in default mode..

[SochBAT]

Extended wrenches FTW! If you can't get it off, go lift some weights. I used to soak a small rag wtih WD40/PB and sit on there, then attack it.

If you wanna plug it, you should use a nickel. Fits perfectly and securely.

I just used the open plug that came off of the manifold and put it back on with a nickel underneath it. Never leaked lol.
