Tool for pulling EGR Valve
Hello All, just wanted to find out what you all are using to pull your egr. I've pulled mine out twice now to clean it, and its a pita to get mine out. I've read of folks tying some bailing/mechanics wire to the 2 screw holes, then wrapping that wire over a large pipe (for leverage) and then using the alternator to pivot the pipe on. Its still a pain. Hard enough to try an twist the egr to even get the wire in the holes. Does anyone have any tricks or special tools they use? I was thinking of buying a slide hammer. Thanks in advace.

I remove the 2 bolts, twist the valve so the bolt holes are open. Run each end of a heavy wire through holes and tie on. Then I have a loop in the wire I stick a piece of Re-bar through and use the alternator as a leverage point and pop up.
Also, can use a tool to help:

I use a length of rope/cord looped at both ends and a 2x2.
I unbolt EGR and twist it enough to get access to the ears. I then hook each end of the cord around the ears and then use the 2x2 as a lever against the top of the alt. to pop it out. Works like a charm. Similar to the bailing wire trick in the tech folder.
