Vacuum check the valve first before replacing it. If it holds for a good five to ten minutes the EGR valve diaphragm is good. Then pull it if needed to see if it seats and clean it. EGR is not he hard to change. 2 bolts and the large fitting to the exhaust. Make sure the upstream and downstream lines to the ecu sensor pressure differential are clear. It could also be the syliniod that actuates vacuum to the EGR.

If it's like a 97, it shouldn't be too hard. Hardest part will be the air line from the exhaust pipe up. Use liberal penetrant spray of your choosing. Then two mount bolts and a vacuum line.
