3. Remove two EGR valve retaining bolts, EGR valve and gasket from upper intake manifold.

INSTALLATION
1. Clean upper intake manifold sealing surface with a plastic-tipped scraper to remove any residual EGR-valve gasket material.
2. Position EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube into EGR valve and loosely connect EGR valve-to-exhaust manifold tube nut to EGR valve.
3. Install new EGR valve gasket and bolts retaining EGR valve to intake manifold. Tighten bolts to 20-30 Nm (15-22 lb ft).
