Important: Do not try to disassemble the linear EGR valve. Service only as a complete assembly.

Important: Carefully note the position of the EGR valve before removal. Do not rotate the EGR valve 180 degrees.

1. Remove the electrical connector.
2. Remove the valve to flange attaching bolts.

Notice: The Linear EGR valve is an electrical component. DO NOT soak in any liquid cleaner or solvent because damage may result.

3. Remove the linear EGR valve (1).
4. Remove the flange gasket.
5. Clean the linear EGR valve gasket surface.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

1. Install the new flange gasket.
2. Install the linear EGR valve (1).
3. Install the valve to flange bolts.

Tighten

1. Tighten the bolts the first time to 10 N·m (89 lb in) each.
2. Tighten the bolts a final time to 25 N·m (18 lb ft) each.
4. Install the electrical connector.
