As seen in this tutorial, removing and replacing the EGR valve in a Toyota Camry is a straightforward task. Before proceeding, wait for the engine to cool completely for safety.

Start by opening the hood, then locate the valve positioned directly at the center, in front of the windshield. Disconnect both hoses connected to it, then remove the fastening nuts using a 12mm wrench and the two lower bolts with a 10mm wrench.

At this point, you can remove the valve from the housing and install the replacement by following the reverse procedure.
