Oh!! That's right , yours is smaller. It's in a different location?

Is it like this then -

 

A 5.4L -





Is this where you stripped the nut^^^^

 

thats not what my whole assembly looks like but that is how my erg is connected. and that bolt is stuck in there

 

Oh , how about this one -

Bingo! thats actually the page i was looking at when trying to take it off

 

Well, that's good

Can you get vise grips in there to get on that nut?

 

i can try. its really tight though. i took the whole intake off and it was still hard to get in there

 

Spin that big nut off the tube - Biga$$ pipe wrench and cheater bar will get her loose for sure..

Get it up on the bench and work on it..

 

well thats how i stripped the bolt in the first place. lol

 

That huge EGR nut ? Is that what you have been talking about all along?

You won't strip that - not with a pipe wrench, that's how they get em loose at the dealership..

 

i already stripped it.lol as soon as my truck cools off im gonna go back out and try to get it off

 

got it!! and i feel really dumb. i stripped out the socket, not the bolt.

 

damn never seen anyone strip out a socket before in something like that lol. harbor freight tools??

 

no. craftsman.lol i think it might have already been worn down though

 

Go over to Sears and get that socket replaced. That's what the lifetime warranty is for.

Hmm - you sure you weren't trying to use a standard socket on a metric nut or vice versa? "Almost right" doesn't count here.......
