- Disconnect the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve electrical connector.
- Disconnect the EGR tube fitting from the EGR valve.
- To install, tighten to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft).

- To install, tighten to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).
- Clean the mating surfaces of any residual gasket material.
- To install, reverse the removal procedure.
CAUTION:
Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges that make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of the EGR system module gasket.
NOTE:
If there is no residual gasket material present, metal surface prep can be used to clean and prepare the surfaces.
