I am in need of some help. I took it opon myself to remove my EGR tube and clean it as I am getting the P0400 code. However I am currently unable to get the tube out. It seems when I rotate it the way in needs/feels to go the flange hits the throttle body flange. I have posted pictures below in hopes one of you has suggestions. I really would like to complete the project tomorrow so please help (Saturday).
