Answer
Hi Mike -

The EGR valve is connected to your exhaust pipe or manifold, close to the engine. Look for a 1/2" pipe that connects between the exhaust and the intake manifold. At the intake side, you will see a round device with a vacuum hose attached to it. This is the EGR. Depending on accessibility, you may need some special tools, but it should be relatively easy to replace. Ensure the engine is cold when replacing.

Hope this helps -
