I bought a new gasket and used some penetrating oil on the other bolt while re-installing the EGR. The new gasket is heat sensitive and will adhere to the UIM and EGR when heated. My problem was insufficient EGR flow, so I cleaned out the throttle body, but stripped the EGR bolts upon re-assembly. The one bolt is holding sufficiently after about 2 weeks.

It has reverse threads on it. YOu drill a hole into the bolt (or whats left of the bolt after the head is broken), and the tap the Easy Out drill bit in until it is stuck on the broken bolt. Then twist it counter clockwise until it comes out. The reverse threads on the drill bit ensures that the bolt comes out as you "tighten" the drill bit.

And spray some PB Blaster (penetrating fluid), Liquid Wrench, etc. before you try to remove the bolts. "Always do the cheap and easy ones first." 1996 V6 ATX 96K miles

No need to remove the EGR valve for you. Using an easy out or similar tool would be my choice. Runing with only 1 bolt holding it on isn't my first choice. Expect problems later. 2 bolts were put there for a reason. 1996 2.5LT V6 Contour ATX My Tour+help/info pics E0 rims, Gutted Pre-Cats,CTA Custom Exhaust & Intake, Diablo Chip.
