Hoping someone can help.....
Unfortunately I've run out of time again.... I've managed to remove (and refit) the two bolts on the input side of the egr. Can anyone advise on the the two bolts that are on the output side ie the bolts that hold the tube in place that houses the MAP sensor? Are they 10mm bolts? Are they easier to access than the other two? If there is / was a gasket at this point would it be the same size as the other gasket or bigger / smaller ? Thank you |

Steve. Thanks v much.
It kinda does help....but having just had a quick look I can't see the bolts for the output side of the egr to output pipe? ... yet looking at the picture above I was expecting them to be easier to see access? |

Steve
Big thanks I've managed to remove the rear bolts (one from underneath - once I had the right spanner for the rear it wasn't as mad as I was expecting) Just about to go out and have another look for the forward ones........ |

Welcome, what ever you do though use the correct torque settings when tightening the bolts back up. They have been known to snap and that cuses a whole world of trouble.

Just had another look and for the life of me I can't see the front two bolts.....
Other than the egr is there anything else removed from your photos? Which bolts did you find the most difficult to remove? Thank you |

If you are taking it off, look on Alive's website, they have a PDF for it all

Feel for them if you can't see them?
Nothing removed in my photo except for the EGR. You can't permanently remove the EGR on a Puma as far as I am aware only disable it on a remap. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️ |

Will have another look / feel tomorrow
Should I expect them to be easier or more difficult than the back two? |

I can't remember if I'm honest but iirc it was the ones on the side nearest the floor that was most difficult simply because they are more hidden and tucked away. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️

The 2 bolts facing the bulk head are 10mm
The 2 facing up are 8mm I have changed 3 of these pests now. Can do it in less than an hour now Shame you to far away or I would give you a hand I found it easier to stick the new gaskets on with some copper grease Why dont you get a remap & get it switched off. Like me
