HOW TO VIDEO: Remove/Replace EGR Valve

:
2002 Mazda Protege5
Hey Everyone,

I recently removed the EGR Valve from my 2002 Mazda Protege5 and wanted to make a video that would help others through the process of removing it too. Below is a youtube video where I explain and guide any viewer through removing it. I made some terminology mistakes, but with that aside I think I pretty much covered the proper steps to take with successfully removing the EGR Valve without having to tear the car apart. My main goal was to get across the fact that you really can remove the valve without having to get underneath the car or taking the Intake Manifold/Throttle Body off. This should help anyone out who likes to visually see how things are taken apart and not just reading from text how things are taken apart.

You may have to turn your volume up because my voice wasn't picked up that well.


Let me know if you see any serious errors. Does anyone know what that red bar spanning across the entire hood that goes over the intake manifold and battery? I removed it in this video, but I mistakenly called it a "Sway Bar" and I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

Red bar = Strut bar.
