Hi,

How do you access it ? I tried to change the EGR valve
this afternoon, but I was unable to loosen the large nut
(under the valve on the EGR tube).
I have a CTA intake so the resonator was not in the way,
I could see pretty clearly everything, but I was unable
to slide a tool into that small place.
(I didn't have a large enough wrench, what size it is btw,
so I tried a small adjustable wrench).
Don't tell me I have to crawl under the car...

Do I need a stubby (sp?) wrench ? What did you guys use ?

I had a EGR CEL and wanted to clean it out.

Thanks,
T.

  What you need is called a �??crow foot wrench�?�.  You need a 22mm crow foot wrench.

  The bad news is that nobody seems to sell a 22mm crow foot wrench.

  The good news is that a 7/8" crow foot wrench is close enough, and you can get that at Sears.
