Trying to remove EGR cooler from m;y late 2004. The blue hose has two clamps on it, do I have to cut the clamp ? When I purchased my oil cooler from Tousley Ford, he said all the gaskets were in the kit, I dont see a clamp. is there a trick to remove them?

 

Can't tell you on the clamp, but I thought it was re-usable. There's an EGR Cooler gasket set that comes with a new hose w/ clamps and and a bunch of other o-rings and gaskets...

 

thanks dan I will look a little closer to the clamp. Ron

 

You rotate the blue hose and line up the white lines so they are on top and it comes apart.

thanks for your help Josh, I thought they were re-useable.

 

I had the same question. Removal is opposite of installation.
