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.
