Can anyone help! I am a newbie mechanic, so please forgive me for any ignorance. I am trying to replace my egr valve and I cant get it free. Ive hit it with pb blaster and let it soak for a few hours now. I cant hit it with a torch heavily due to close by wiring. I am moving all the wiring as far away as possible. The picture I linked isnt to show how close the wiring is. I am definetly moving every wire in the pic as far as possbile when I torch it, but I am still getting the wires or anything plastic way to freaking hot. I've tried different angles. Im lost on how to get this free without removing a ton of ****. Any help please!!!!

 

took off bolts holding the valve up top and busted the **** outta my knuckles. Pic explains it all. Defintely broke the hoses, but o well. found 5ft of similar hose on amazon for 8 bucks

 

Unbolt where it connects to exhaust. Then, try to tighten slightly where it connects to EGR first before trying to loosen. An old trick that works sometimes with stubborn bolts subjected to a lot of heat.

 

Thankyou. It is free!
