Already done.
Brian's instructions said to put the clamp back on and then wait for the silicon to cure. Well, I decided to do it a different way: wait for the silicon to cure and then put the clamp on. So I'll finish it off tomorrow. I liked the last line in the instructions that says that when you finish testing the car you can put the EGR valve back on by reversing the directions.

What u r doing is overkill. Not necessary and undue frustration. If u had a 1990 and above MB diesel, then I can see ur endeavors.

I thought about doing that but decided to remove the entire unit anyway. I wasn't frustrated. It just happened that I was being too soft on the item. This morning I ripped it off with the first attempt. Altogether, I put in 20 minutes yesterday, 15 minutes this morning and probably another 10 minutes tomorrow. You consider a 45 minute deal that doesn't even require me to get under the car or anything like that overkill?
