[Beau]

Been away down at devon the past week, back friday so will try then! Can't promise anything though, I want to do a good guide for you all

 

[Shayne]

I've give up reading about this stuff Beau i'm just gonna follow your instructions and hope for the best !

An old stainless steel sink will give me a thick enough plate to block off the EGR won't it ?

 

[Chris Green90]

Shayne that'll be fine. we used o do Shoguns with bits of old coke cans.

 

[Shayne]

Cheers Chris i wasn't worried about pressure but heat , surely a coke tin would disintegrate in no time with the heat ?

 

[Chris Green90]

We did use 2 layer s. Goid fo 50k miles at least.

where does the time go...You guys are gonna have to have some patience with me over the weekend and next week whilst I find some time!

 

[Shayne]

Been itching all weekend to block my EGR off but the rain just won't stop , i ended up getting a smashed up old stainless steel tea urn from the local amenity site to make the blanking plate with . Ones mans rubbish is another mans gold .

 

[Shayne]

How the hell did you get the bottom nut on the pipe undone Beau i've been fighting for an hour with it and i just can't get a grip of the spanner with anything more than my finger tips .

 

[Shayne]

I give up its not gonna happen

 

[mrdelmonti]

It's awkward but doable from below, just need strong fingertips to crack it.

 

[Shayne]

Tried every which way but as soon as i apply a bit of force the spanner just slips off . I have been spraying penetrating oil on these nuts for 3 days but the noise the top nut made when i loosened it made me think for a second i had snapped the stud . They are on tight ! .

Try a 6-sided hex spanner?
Can you get a 1/4" drive socket over the bolt?

Could be down to the spanner, a decent spanner can make a world of difference, I've done 2 this way and like I said they're tight and awkward but certainly doable.

i blocked the vaccum pipe that operates the egr valve. no blood in that job.

IIRC a 12mm ring ratchet spanner is what you need in there Shayne. Also available in silver

 

[mrdelmonti]

Oh of course, once you've got it cracked a ratchet spanner makes it a doddle, should be a 5/10min job normally.

Oh and as said above just blocking the vacuum pipe is enough to do the job, although it could be worth cleaning the valve before blocking to make sure it's closing properly.

Aha, looking at the pic again, it looks like its "that" bolt behind the cylinder head that holds the EGR pipe.

I think you might need a Metrinch spanner Shayne, see my thread below.

Only just seen the photo, give up on that bolt before you round it and get a metrinch spanner.

I was thinking you meant a different bolt, that one is a real pain.
