good morning. I am just about done wrapping up my KB 2.6 swap. I am having difficulty with the EGR tube! I wrestled the tube for about 2 hours last night. I gave up as I lost my voice from all the swearing.
Any tips?

Never worked on a KB but if you left the EGR valve bolts loose and have the EGR tube loose at the header/manifold it should fit. If not you have major problems.
I've had to tweak my EGR tube over the years for my TVS's and my headers, I just put a massive box end wrench over the tube and use it to bend the tube.

Godstang, the egr valve is installed. I left the bolts a touch loose to give me some give. I cannot attach the EGR tube to the EGR valve. I am just a few hairs off. I am trying hard not too bend too hard as I did not want to make it worse.
CJ428mach, I did not think about loosening the tube at the manifold! DUH That should do the trick as I am pretty close.

I've been able to reach the nut on my stock manifolds between the body and the kmember. The wrench will fit between the opening and let you get the nut loosen/tightened.
Thanks I will try that tonight. I only need a bit more slack to get the tube started. I am so close to wrapping this swap up and firing her up!
After 5 hours of swearing, the EGR tube is in. Time to go to sleep.
Can you pull the wiring out of the loom to get some slack? That's odd that the harness barely reaches.
slo894, I am going to try tonight, put my problem is I have huge gorilla hands so I don't have much room to work with under the plenum.
Looking good!!
Natedogg, I’m really close. Should be wrapping it up this weekend
