Default Remove/clean EGR/Combi valve in a 2.8

Does anybody know of any documentation or videos on how to do this?

I've looked online and I can't find anything. Almost everything points to the 4 cylinder but on that model it's relatively easy. 6 bangers have two and they're tucked up behind the valve covers and are easy to touch but VERY hard to get a wrench into to take out.

I would really like to any write-ups or docs on how to remove one.

Thanks for any help!

The delete should be relatively simple- take the whole system out, plug the hole in the airbox, and buy/make block off plates for the back of the cylinder heads.

Sorry I cant make a right-up or anything, but I can imagine it in my mind

Yes, the system is monitored by the computer and it will throw a CEL if you remove the system. However, you can talk to a competent tuner and have the CEL remain off for this code

I'm not sure if there's anyone who can do emissions deletes on that ECU. If your car was DBW no problem, but probably not a DBC 2.8 since there's next to no demand for that sort of thing.
