Thank you for the placement of the EGR valve in the 05. It is nice to know that should one ever go out, you put it in a location that is really easy to replace. I appreciate the forsight.

Seriously, how has anyone been able to replace it? I can get one of the two mounting bolts out, but not the one in the back. I followed a well written post from here describing the process and that still does not help me get that other bolt out.

 

It's easy at $100.00 per hour at your dealer of choice!

 

You need wobbly extensions as well as a swivel. I went wobbly extensions, then swivel, then wobbly expension, then deep well socket. I got it. Took about an hour and a few chioce words, but I got it.

and dont drop the back bolt...it will be lost forever......

 

I already lost two sockets and a 6" extension. I have no idea where they go to.
