EGR Removal PROBLEM

i have an 05 f250 diesel and i'am trying to remove the EGR to clean it.

i have removed blots and EGR turns freely but i can not pull it out. i have tryed a wire on the bolt holes, turning and pulling but the F$%&ing thing will not come out.

Does anyone have any other idea's.

i have pulled till i'm blue in the face with no luck

Use the claw end of a claw hammer, it will pop right out with a couple bumps of the handle. Claw will bite under the flange of the egr. Use the intake as your lever.

Once you figure it out, it will only take 30seconds! 2 bolts a plug and pop, done.

I had to put quite a fair bit of my weight to get it to pop out... if you're pulling it up in a straight line, it should pop out before it breaks.. (I think)
I used a wire + loop on a crow bar on the alternator for leverage
