How to change the egr pipe on a Ford Ranger equipped with a 2.5L 4 cylinder engine. So after the new exhaust system, the truck still has an exhaust leak. After looking everything over everything, I found a hole in the egr pipe. I found a cheap replacement online, it wasn’t enough to take a chance on patching the hole and then having the pipe fail again in the future. #ford #fordranger #mazdabseries

Tools/Supplies Needed:
-10mm socket
-3/8” drive ratchet
-3/8” drive 3” extension
-27mm wrench
-new egr pipe
-new egr gasket
-penetrating oil
-gloves
-interlocking pliers
Procedure:
-the replacement should be done when the engine is cold
-however, the fitting on the exhaust manifold can seize so you can use the heat from the engine to help break it free along with some penetrating oil
-using a 27mm wrench, break the fitting free on the exhaust manifold, if you are having problems, you can also cut off the pipe, then use a socket and a johnson or breaker bar for more leverage
-remove the EGR pressure feedback sensor, it has two 8mm nuts
-moving over to the intake side
-we have a couple options, one is disconnecting the pipe fitting or removing the egr valve
-if you remove the valve, then you maybe required to replace the gasket
-the fitting for the pipe uses a 27mm and I will be disconnecting this instead
-if you are going with the egr valve, this has 2 10mm bolts
-once the fittings have been disconnected, remove the pipe
-I would also recommending wear gloves as I believe the egr pipe uses fibreglass shield and the fibres from can imbed in your skin
-once removed, compared the old and new pipes to ensure they are the same
-using interlocking pliers to help break the rubber hoses lose and remove, if they are damaged, then they’ll need to be replaced
-nstall the hoses with sensor on the new egr pipe
-and then install the new pipe
-this was an aftermarket replacement and unfortunately it did need to be adjusted slightly so I was able to bolt up
-what I found worked best was loosening the egr valve to give some extra movement, starting both the fitting on the manifold and egr fittings a couple threads and then tightening down everything after
-finish up by bolting back up the EGR pressure feedback sensor
-start the truck and check for any leaks
-you may need to warm up the exhaust and then retighten the fittings
