Well I 'm trying to do some maintenance to the GS. I'm replacing both valve cover gaskets. The only problem is I've never done this on this car before. I have the CD dealer manuel as my only guide. I took of the throttle body, no problem, now I have to take of the part of the intake as seen in picture. I'm having an issue w/ the EGR valve removal. It's attached to the piece that I need to remove. The manuel says disconnect the EGR pipe, w that giant nut, did that then it shows two small nuts at the end of that pipe. How do you get to them I see one of them, but there so much crap in the way its hard to reach. Tried a socket, w extension its like there's no room. If someone has done this before, has a trick or a tool to recommend I would be thankful. Please help need to get car done this week end, having starter flashbacks. Thanks.....

 

Try a swivel adapter or a flex head gear wrench, dont remember which of the 2 i used. have you tryd that??

 

Thanks, I was probably more in need of sleep, when I woke up this morn., the swivel idea popped into my head. I will head out as soon as sun rises. Also, should have the help of a CL member swinging by this morn. So, I should be back in business today.
