Egr Plate And Manifold

[DeAnda]

I'm going from a 60mm TB/egr plate to a 75mm but cannot remove the egr from the manifold anybody have suggestions on removing it that doesn't take days?

Not sure what your question is. From a performance perspective, there is no advantage to removing the EGR valve.

Yeah. I'm trying to take the spacer off to put my new ones on. And it won't come apart. If there's an easier way to do it then what I'm doing because my way isn't working

You can either cut the old one off or work it with a mallet. It will eventually come off.

Soak it with Pb blaster/wd40, try to get a very small flat blade in the edge for a very minimal amount pressure, then smack the egr a few times with a mallet. It will eventually come off just needs a little massaging.

looks like its sealed with rtv. pull the studs out (they go all the way into the manifold flange), and like said whack it a few times with a hammer (soft one), and it should come off.
