EGR Tube

[Danny]

I am replacing my egr tube on a 2000 Lincoln Town Car Cartier and I have both nuts loose, however I was wondering if anyone could help on how to remove the two vacuum lines. I do not have enough space to put my hand up through the bottom and remove the two hoses. Any help?

Pry with a flat screwdriver?

I am having trouble visualizing what is giving you difficulty. Please post a pic, as zoomed in as you can get, of what is stopping you.

Thank you I was able to get the two off with a hose grip plier. However now I can not get the tube out of the car, I have tried to go up with it and down with it and it will no clear and come out.

Some people will jack the car up and remove the wheel to get to the lower nut easier.

If you already have the bottom loose you will have to disconnect other hoses / wires and wiggle the tube out. No short cuts I have heard of.
