I'm not sure if there is a full picture write-up but if not then enjoy ^^
KK to start off you will need to un-plug your EGR hoses from top of the EGR valve itself like so...
once you have un-pluged this hose your can see the rusted on 1 1/16 inch bolt I do suggest soaking alot with penetration oil of some kind before attempting to undo it.
You will undo the rusted bolt / hose first then remove the 2 10mm bolts that actually hold the EGR valve to its block plate.
Now once you have removed this you should see alot of build-up inside of the EGR valve itself. To clean I used an actual EGR cleaning solution here at my dealership, but soapy water solution and a wire brush works good to. Letting this soak for a bit helps alot. Now I have found that simply using a wire brush cannot remove all of the carbon deposits so I used a tiny pick and actually scratched the walls clean.
And of coarse to install just reverse the removal process and in no time you will have your freshly clean EGR valve installed and back up running again. ^^ GL and I hope this helps somewhat. If anyone has questions I will try to help with what I can.
