I have a 1997 Cruiser and am having trouble here. I have removed the 2 smaller nuts and also loosened the larger pipe bolt. I am having a heck of a time getting off now???
How do you remove the EGR Valve?

Does the EGR valve move at all or is it 'cooked' on ?
Removing the studs (at least one) where you removed the 2 nuts will allow the EGR valve to come off easily.

It moves forward off the 2 smaller bolts with some force. Seems maybe it is cooked on at the pipe bolt.

Loosen the big nut off completely - it should slide down the pipe some.

Remove the 32mm nut attached the EGR and the EGR tube.
Move the 32mm nut slightly down the tube.
Remove 2 12mm nuts
Remove both 7mm studs
The EGR will come straight off
Catch the metal gasket
When you reinstall the EGR, add a small dab of anti-seize to the threads. Keeps the 32mm nut from rusting on the EGR pipe.
