Recieved a check engine light that showed code P0401, leading me to believe the lower EGR tube was clogged. I tried to remove the EGR tube today but could not get the EGR valve off. I used PB Blaster but it did not seem to work very well. Only had it on for about half an hour before I tried to unbolt the nut.
I ended up twisting the tube and kinking it. Time for a new lower EGR Pipe.
Any tips on getting it off the Exhaust manifold connection? I am sure it is going to be stuck solid the same as the EGR valve nut.
My truck is off the road until the new lower EGR pipe arrives. But I have to get the old one off, thought about going in through the fender well to accesss the nut.
Help is greatly appreciated.
