EGR Question

If I want to replace the EGR valve in my 1983 300 I-6, what does it entale? Do I just unbolt the two bolts and slide it out, or are there internal parts that are connected to the valve itself? What does it take before I get myself in a fix.

Thanks, Arnie

Two nuts, that's it. You may want to put a little penetrating fluid on the nuts and hit the threads with a wire brush to clean them up. I'm sure they have corroded a little over the years.

take of the 2 nuts and make sure you use a new gasket.

Thanks for the answer. Bye the way, does the gasket go on dry, or with some silicone gasket sealer?

Thanks, Again.
