EGR valve?

[scupking]

I'm trying to put my C&L plenum in and can't get the screw on the right of the EGR valve off.

The problem is I can't get the 10mm ratchet to reach the screw; it won't go far enough down if you know what I mean. Also how do I get the screws out that hold the TPS onto the Throttle body because I’m also replacing my throttle body with a 75mm one?

For the EGR use a flexible ratcheting box end or a deep well socket.

For the screws on the TPS touch a blazing hot soldering iron tip to the center of the head of the screw and heat up the screw to release the red threadlock. Be sure and use a phillips head that fits the screw perfectly to avoid stripping it.

Both EGR and TPS fasteners are known to be very challenging. Good luck.

ive always used 1/4in drive metric tools on stuff like that u can pick up a set of deeps and extension and a ratchet set at sears for like 20 bucks and 1/4in tools work much better

It takes a deep socket, it will come right off with one.

lol. thats why they make deep sockets. not the egr's problem

dont forget to put the gasket back on too. sometimes it will fall, or stick to the old plenum or whatever esle.. good luck an di hope u dont get idle issues
