I am intalling the Phenolic spacer which was going fine, until I came to that damn EGR tube!!!! I can't get it to line back up for chit with the spacer on now. I tried to bend it while still attached and that thing is a bear. Any tricks or advise will be appreciated.

 

take a 1 1/4 wrench and go underneath the inner fender well and remove the egr tube from the manifold or header. put tube in a vice and bend 1 or the bends that is heading in the vertical plain, this will help!

 

Thanks badass, I was hoping to get away with taking it off but I guess I have no choice.
