  Q: How to Service the EGR Valve on Lincoln Zephyr?

  A: A service of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve requires disconnecting both the battery ground cable and the EGR valve electrical connector. Standalone service of the EGR valve begins by removing the EGR tube fitting from the valve itself. The service of the EGR valve requires users to remove two securing bolts and discard the gasket. You must install the new EGR valve by tightening its bolts to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) with the EGR tube fitting torqued to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft). The cleaning process must exclude metal scrapers together with wire brushes and abrasive tools because their rough actions generate surface damage that produces leaking issues. A plastic scraping tool serves as the appropriate instrument for cleaning the sealing areas. Metal surface prep becomes an option for surface cleaning whenever the gasket does not leave any material behind. The installation process ends by executing the reverse steps of gasket removal.
