3rd isx egr tune up

And I cannot for the life of me get the pipe that is on top of the EGR to separate from the EGR fouls while it is in its place so I am curious as to if you think you could remove it as a whole and work on separating once removed? I'm just trying not to strip out them to 10 mm bolt heads I can get the one in the rear at that 1 in the front for some reason with this track is kicking my ass

It is quite common actually for those 10 mm bolts to break off due to lack of anyone giving a s$it about the truck the first 500k miles.

remove the eGr valve so you can clean it while your at it, drill out the flange holes for the top pipe if they broke off and put bolts with washers in there as replacements.
