This is my quasi-write up of how I replaced the EGR pipe. This is my first automotive repair in over twenty years so I am writting this from a beginner's perspective. The following is mainly a compilation of what I have read and what fellow MUDders have shown me. This may not be organized in the best fashion since I am shooting from the hip so to speak. I hope it is helpful to other people that are in similar situations. This does not deal with diagnosing the problem only with replacing the pipe.
