EGR blanking !!!

Tools required for this job

1) L- box lever and  100 mm extender

2) No 14 box  

3)  Ring spanner . NO 14 (bothside Ring)

4) Common Ring No.14

5) Gardening gloves

6) WD40 0r similar 

To my recommendation , the best time to do this is just after some normal driving, wait about 10 minutes . Do take precaution as all part are very hot, wear gloves to prevent being burnt.

Start with the nut on exhaust manifold side.  Before attempting to open give it a few shots of WD40. This will cool down the whole nut and stud. The cooling effect will cause the nut and stud to shrink  making it easier to remove. When you turn chances are the whole stud and nut will come out together .

This is hole will nicely fit the extender and L handle

There is a hole that will snuggly fit the No 14 box and extender

 

 For the bottom screw . It can be reached with a ring spanner from the bottom. For those of you who did not lift their truck, use a floor jack and lift it a few inches for clearance
