: Cleaning the EGR

I'm trying to clean the EGR tube on my 200SX. I can't find a written procedure on how to do this on a low port. I've unbolted the two bolts that holds the EGR valve and tube and unscrewed the two screws that holds up the BPT valve. The two valves are now loose, but not enough where I can access the opening of the metal tube. Where do I go from this? Can I completely remove the metal tube...unbolting it from both ends so I can take it out and clean it? I've been trying to follow the procedure on SE-R.net, but it's for a high port. There's sooooo little room on a low port. Any advice would be appreciated!!

I have a high port, but I know you can unbolt the tube from both ends. Some people us to spray carb cleaner in the intake (after the Mass Air Flow) to flush the exhaust CRAP out. I have never tried this methode. My EGR system fell off my car years ago and some how a metal plate bolted its self over the holes. ;) I'm OBD1 though. I hate EGR systems.
