I hate thos egr valves. 12mm wrench fit but has no room to turn ( that only works on one side) and most of my sockets are too long and end up at a angle on the bolt( a quick way to strip em bald =[ ). Be careful, old studs will snap if you use PB or many of the other penitrating agents, I had a fun time drilling out my exhaust bolts on the cat on my 85 maxima when i used that PB stuff and it penitrated more than just between the nut and stud.

You realy dont want to figure out how to weld a egr valve on to your motor so just let the car warm, get a flexable extention and a short socket and either breaker bar it or torque wrench it. And yes... dont buy a cheap torque wrench that only goes to 25Foot lbs. Pulling the CV Half shafts is fun enuf with a breaker bar and the 4 foot handle to the car jack on the end of it.....finding a quality craftsman torque here in Alaska that went up to 250 Foot lbs to torque the cv nuts back on to 180 was even funner.

Long story short.... buy a craftsman or other quality torque wrench so you can return it every year or so for free.

hope that helps.

dont forget to replace the egr valve gasket if you plan on putting it back on. $2 is worth passing an IM test
