Default EGR Valve Removal Tips?

Can anyone give me tips on how to remove the EGR (combi) valve? I'm throwing a 16795 code and need to clean that puppy out. I replaced the vac line last week going to it, but no luck on clearing the code.

How the #@$% do I get that thing out? It's in a really really really tight space between the firewall and back of the engine block. I know it can be done, though... suggestions?

There are a couple of ways to remove it, the easiest way is to loosen the pipe its sitting on away from the cylinder head then removing the two screws holding the combi valve onto the pipe. Trying to take the combi valve off first will just give you a headache.
