EGR valve easy to replace?
I have a 96 351 Bronco. Is it difficult to replace the egr valve? From what I can see it looks like 2 bolts plus a big threaded piece with some rust blaster should make it easy to unthread. Am I missing anything or other thoughts? Thanks.

I don't know if my 94 351 is identical. I changed the egr then later changed the sensor on top of it. They are easy if you soak the tube nut a lot. I occasionally get an egr code in continuous memory and think if may due to the egr and sensor being different brands.

...(t)hey are easy if you soak the tube nut a lot....
That's what I had in mind. Just use as much PB Blaster as possible. OK, that sounds like a plan. Tired to getting reamed at these repair shops. Thanks.
Is that sensor on top also known as the DPFE sensor?

I don't know what this sensor is, so i don't know if I have this or not. What does it look like?

It sits in front of the EGR. It's rectangular, about 2x3 inches. It has 2 rubber hoses going from it's bottom into 2 small metal pipes.

yes the EGR valve is easy to replace but take care with the nut on the bottom - the tube to which it is attached can become quite delicate as it has a corrugated section to allow it to flex. If this cracks you'll get all sorts of issues as exhaust gasses escape and burn your HT leads etc. Its a pain to change as you have to remove the Plenum.
they are cheap to replace in the USA and very expensive in the UK.
