I have a 1997 F150 with a 4.6 V-8. There is a tude that runs from the EGR valve into my exhaust manifold on the drivers side. Picture if you will, the tube has a nut on it that screws into the exhaust manifold, so the threads on the nut are on the outside of it. The current tube that needs to be replaced no longer has a nut on it. My quesistion is how do i get the piece of the nut out of the manifold so i dont have to replace the manifold. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

 

it should be threaded, mine was, but i have the 5.4
