How to Remove the Cap Off a 240SX EGR

The EGR, or exhaust gas recirculation, of your Nissan 240SX is located in the rear area of your vehicle's engine compartment. The EGR is an important component in the emissions system of your vehicle, reducing the output of nitrogen oxide. If you wish to perform maintenance on your EGR or even replace it, you will need to remove the EGR's cap or valve. This is a fairly simple process that should not take you more than 15 minutes to complete.

Instructions

1

Park the 240SX on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Remove the keys from the ignition.

2

Open the 240SX's hood and use a socket wrench to unplug the black terminal cable from the battery.

3

Remove the three 12-mm bolts from the EGR. Be careful not to drop the bolts into the engine compartment.

4

Remove the two bolts from the EGR cap and pull off the cap.
