None at all.
What size is the EGR tube nut on the exhaust manifold end? I have nothing that I can get in there to remove it. It's big. I want to try and find a crow foot wrench to fit it. Otherwise, I'll be trying to use my rotary tool to cut it off.

I was sent this video but my manifold and EGR tube are different and it can't be reached with a wrench. Maybe this will help someone else.

On my 2001 2.5L First spray it with a good penetrating oil let it soak in for a few minutes and spray it again, I use a 1-1/16" open end wrench(fits both fittings on pipe), which needs to be flipped often, Be careful not to crack or break double male fitting from EGR line into Manifold. I learned the hard way and needed to remove manifold and hacksaw out broken piece.
