Default Cleaning EGR on 2006 GC

Hey Guys im new to DF. Wanted to ask a quick question regarding my wifes car. How easy is it to clean the carbon build up off the GVR Valve, on a 2006 GrandCaravan 3.8L? Is it easier to simply replace vs clean?

These EGR valve fails electrically most of the time. It is better to replace it.

I recommend you to just replace the EGR valve.
