My EGR is "one" unit, but still separable. Even separable versions MUSN'T be separated in 2 pieces before taking it out. Like I said, you have to turn the outer part of the EGR with a special tool, otherwise you're going to play with luck and pray that the inner part isn't too stuck.
And as a warning I suggest you take a look at my stuck EGR. |

Lots of ham fisted ginger bears just use a pipe wrench, which splits the EGR. The good book then says it is supposed to be replaced if split, although for many diesels the dealers won't clean them. One hours labour to scrub one up to new standard is nearly the cost of a new valve (Might be more in some dealers).

Yes I'm going through hell with that D**N EGR... I still have one last thing to try to remove it, that is heating the "collecteur d'admission" (I don't know how it's called in english, well the big metal thing in which the EGR is stuck) with a kind of "hairdrier" (but more powerful, the tool that is used to remove plastic grounds) to try and make the soot melt from the inside, and then work the egr with my hammer and plate screwdriver... I'll tell you what in a couple of days...

What does the tool look like you are talking about? Can't get the inner part out as well... afraid to break it.

If it is stuck solid, then alternative would be getting a new(used) inlet manifold with a inner /outer EGR part, then you could remove it EGR housing and clean the inlet manifold( and/or smooth out the inlet ports for a slightly better air flow/performance). It will help with the air flow especially if you have a higher milage car due to soot/gunk build up at the inlet manifold/EGR. This would save you some time as well as it would be a straight part swap.
Sorry for the late reply due to not owning a volvo anymore...

When it causes a lag I will get it cleaned, although removing it will be a PITA as it still has the OEM bolts in it and they should have been changed last time it was cleaned over 100K ago by a Ford stealer. There is a potential for the mounting bolts to shear off, so it's a classic case of, "If it's not forked, don't try and fix it"!

-----------UPDATE------------
Forget about the carb cleaner... get a brake cleaner and a toothbrush..... That's a lethal combo.... had to clean a slightly dirty bmw egr... 15. minutes later it looked like a brand new... best thing is... it evaporates.. ![]()
