Thank you for making this video Daniel. I ordered a 1-1/16 crows-foot on Amazon and it just arrived (Sunex 97734A 1/2" Dr. 1-1/16" Jumbo Crowfoot Wrench...). Plan to take a crack at this repair tomorrow. "Guesstimating" it will save us about $200 doing it ourselves given the hourly labor rate at the repair shop.

@yeraldogarcia4083 I also did a video of of how to clean that EGR tube that goes into the intake manifold that can build up and also cause the EGR to again if you don't clean it.
I watched your video and felt pretty good about getting this part changed. I was stopped dead in my tracks. Auto zone, Napa, advanced auto parts never heard of a 3/8 (or 1/2 inch) crows foot and they all had a look like they gazed on the arc of the covenant when I showed them a screen shot from your video. "Never seen one of those before" was all I got after 90 minutes of driving around. Where did you purchase your crows foot socket? I even got the part number of yours in the vid and I got 0 hits. Help!

@@fixitdaniel thanks fixitDaniel! I appreciate you taking the time to answer. They are out of stock... the only other link I found is almost as much as i paid for the egr valve; nearly 70 bucks with shipping for a single socket! Back to scouring the internet.
@@bobleveille3060 what I did was Google the crows foot the 1in 1/16 crows foot and Google and just starts to from there that's what I that's how I found that site
Hi fixitDaniel, you got lucky when you ordered that flare style crowsfoot wrench. I contacted customer service at pro torque tools asking when it would be back in stock. They checked with snap on/Williams, the manufacturer, and was told it is permanently out of stock and was discontinued. I was able to borrow a regular 1-1/16" crowsfoot from my fleet manager today. It took about 15 minutes of fiddling to get it on the nut blind, the rest was a breeze. Thanks for sharing your video and taking time to help with the tool search. I would suggest catching a few of the flare nut threads in the egr valve before bolting the valve to the bracket. It helped hold the valve in place while I installed the bolts. My 2012 Escape is just under 188k miles and still going strong after a front end rebuild and a new egr valve. Keep posting Escape videos and I'll keep watching! Thanks!
Hey guys is the crows foot wrench the only way to get that bolt out? I just got a code for the EGR today and need to save money I'm DIY'ing it. @fixitdaniel@@bobleveille3060
@dexter7939 If you saw on the video I used a little mini drumble tool to get some of the buildup carbon.Off, but I also just used carbureted cleaner.Or brake cleaner works fine to carbureted cleaners.More better for carbon.You know for gas stuff so that will work just fine
@dexter7939 Because you want to clean that too really good.Because that's probably years of carbon.Build up that nobody really replaces until it gets clogged
@@mausisimaga575 I can't remember what the code was, but if it's if your code says something about e.GRE efficiency or something like that something with the e.GR valve, then it's the same code.So um, you may want to check the sea, what?What code that is
@erichm78 mine came off with a.bit of force, but not that much. You do it two ways. 1. Start the car and let it get warm up with normal running, and if that's works. 2. Fellow the other end of the EGR tube down to the exhaust manifold and take it.Off there.
@@FitnessPlanB Yes, cause a layout of a V6 and a 4 center can be comfortably different.You may want to pull up a picture of your e.G.R for your four cylinder and go from there
Great video - I'm considering removing EGR to gain access to rear bolt on starter motor.
Thanks for posting.👍

Did this also show difficulty filling the gas tank before the valve was replaced? The code I had was p0s400.
The piece that you left attached to the intake should be removed and cleaned. It's just a tube 90 deg angle that gets clogged up with carbon.
How do you clean tube with what cleaner?
@cfh4201969 what do u clean tube with?

what code you had before fixing the car mine is P0403 and im wondering if its the same issue ??

How did you get the egr valve off the egr tube so easily? The nuts on the tube in my car are stuck and was told to use a blow torch

Does not apply to the 4 cylinder motor. No crowsfeet tool needed
@@FitnessPlanB it should you half to check it.
Every example I found has used v6. When I compared the parts they look different 4 vs 6
@@FitnessPlanB Yes, cause a layout of a V6 and a 4 center can be comfortably different.You may want to pull up a picture of your e.G.R for your four cylinder and go from there
@@fixitdaniel I compared them in person at my auto parts store. I’m not referring to browsing the internet. Have you?
@@FitnessPlanB No, I.
Have another slot that might be in ways.You could check it out to compare that two.
Not to good with your fractions are you 😂😂😂😂
