I blew a lower intake manifold gasket on Christmas and I've been trying to fix it . Everything was going swimmingly until I got to the EGR tube. When I went to take it out I found it was severely corroded. Long story short, I ended up really messing it up even more. I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to remove the tube since I'm having a really hard time finding anything on it. Is it okay to just crimp it shut and let it sit that way until I can get it to a shop or is there a easier way to remove it while I have the engine apart?

 

It helps if you identify your year make model vin code. But rockauto has a Dorman for $80. AC Delco for $130. Though I don't think a Delco is absolutely necessary for this specific part.

 

I have a 2001 Blazer ZR2 with the 4.3 liter vortec

 

Go to rockauto. I'd think they have one for you.

 

Sounds good. Now I just have to figure out where the other end of the tube is.

 

At the bend on the exhaust manifold.

 

Alright thanks a lot

 

Easier to see thru the wheel well if you take the tire off.
