The EGR connection tubes can be hot. To reduce the possibility of personal injury, allow the engine to cool before removing.
Loosen all hose clamps on the EGR connection tubes and remove the two p-clip mounting capscrews or nuts (depending on the vintage of the engine) on the front EGR connection tube.
If the M10 stud comes out upon removal of the nut, install the M10 stud into the block until the stud bottoms out.
Remove the one capscrew and one nut or the two nuts that attach the rear section of the connection tube to the cylinder block.
If the M10 stud comes out upon removal of the nut, install the M10 stud into the block until the stud bottoms out.
Cover the irregular openings on the venturi and air intake connections with protective caps from the Air Handling Clean Care Kit, Part Number 4919403 and Part Number 4919425.
