how the hell do i loosen the bolts on my egr. i worked on them for 30 minutes today sweating my nuts off with the veins in my arms about to explode. not enough room. This EGR block plate is a pain in the nuts...

yes it is, i also swore my nuts off, i had to make a little leverage bar that had a bend in it and have someone hold that on the nut, it was a bad day. but it worked.
Took me 15 minutes. Soak those SOBs with PB Blaster and use a hammer. Having two people helps a lot too.
i might make a mix of brake fluid and 3 in 1 to make the ultamite penetrating oil... and i will have the truck up to 210 degrees tomorrow.... i am angry!
how did u fit a hammer in there?
Put the wrench on the nut and have someone else hold it on there very tight, then take the hammer and beat the snot out of the wrench.
I had no problem. I didn't have anytrouble with the FPRV either.... You fellas need to work out or something
i bought a long handle flex head 3/8 rachet, and that's all i used. Took alittle doing but in all about 20min and it was done
mad max... 1 more post for 500

same here just used a small wrench took me less than 5 mins
12mm flex head gear wrench is the easiest, the first time I messed with mine, I didn't have one, and they were hard to get to. Someone posted 3/8 while ago, but that is to small, won't work.
It was really easy I had Bigredchevy do it for me. lol! PB Blaster works great.
