Reconnect the electrical connector for the EGR, and again, I remove these safety clips. Reinstall the oil fill tube, as well as the cap. These bushings sit on top of these two pegs here. Once all that's started and everything's seated, we can tighten it all up with our 10 millimeter socket and ratchet. Start that bolt as well in, just a couple of threads because we don't want to lock anything down yet. Then we'll tweak it and line the top up if we can. Just get a couple of threads going there just to keep it pretty close to in place. It'll help make sure it doesn't move when we go to install it back onto the exhaust manifold. A good trick for lining up this gasket when we install it is if the holes are the right size we can actually get the thread started into the gasket a little ways. Start both of those in by hand and we'll tighten those back down with our 10 millimeter socket and ratchet. Place the gasket on there to make sure it doesn't move and it's going to make it a lot easier to line this up. Let's put the bolts from the EGR through the new valve. With the bolts removed, you can remove your EGR from the intake manifold. We'll do this using a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet. With the EGR tube out of the way, remove the two 10 millimeter bolts on the EGR solenoid. We soaked ours in penetrating oil for about 5, 10 minutes before we tried this, just to make sure that these bolts wouldn't snap. We'll remove the top one with a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet and use an extension on the bottom two for a little more clearance. Remove the three bolts securing the EGR tube onto both the exhaust manifold and the EGR solenoid. Simply pop up, and remove your engine cover. Push down on the tab, and remove the electrical connector from your EGR. Now, these are really prone to breaking, so I like to push down on that tab with a pick and just remove the safety from the connector completely, so we don't risk breaking it and having it be less secure when we reinstall. The connector on top of your EGR valve is also going to be in the way, if removing your engine cover. Grab the bottom portion of the fill tube here, turn that counterclockwise as well. Here are the items you'll need for this repair: pick, 10mm socket, ratchet, extension Remove the oil fill cap. If you need parts for your car, you can follow the link down the description over to.
