EGR Valve PROBLEM!
I have a 1992 F150 I6, and I am now attempting, and have been for the last hour and a half to break loose the EGR Valve from the Exhaust pipe that runs back up from the catalytic converter. I have used WD-40, and even let this thing soak for a day when I was at work yesterday and still using WD-40, and will not budge. I have even warm the pipe up with engine heat and still will not budge. With the amount of force I am applying to break this loose, I am worried that I will end up breaking something, such as the pipe, or the manifold where it connects. If anyone has ANY ideas, I would be more than apt to listen to them!

Just wanted to add to my post, I was reading a few of the EGR Valve Problems in the Forum and I can reading that you guys seem to be using PB Blaster, I have used it quite a bit at work for myself, but never really have sene much difference in the effect it has on the removal.
Sorry for the addendum, but was just curious..

PB Blaster is considerably better than WD-40. I have used both as well. I replaced the header gasket on my last truck. I sprayed the 18 year old bolts with PBB a couple of days before and they spun out with ease.
It's a kind of magic
