    I am still trying to figure it out how to remove that EGR cooler. Cannot access that bottom rear nut. Mane the third time is the charm.

    The bottom nut can be a bit fiddly;).

    But if you have grit and determination, it can be done(y).

    Great for the price. My only complaint is that the button's green lights are way different than car's green.

    I did my EGR valve/cooler clean today, and replaced the transmission fluid.

    After all the horror stories of the dreaded nut, I made a deal with my local mechanic to take it off for me, I cleaned it myself overnight, and he installed it back on the next day, and did the transmission flush (where I provided the Toyota fluid).

    Cost came out to $275 + tax. And the mechanic complaining to me how hard the nut was to get off :-P. Which is the same price the dealership quoted me to just change the fluid.

    I don't think some people are using the correct tool to remove the nuts and bolts.
    I don't remember which tool I used but none were really difficult. A little tricky, but not hard.
    Maybe I got lucky? I did put anti-sieze on everything before reassembly so it would be easier next time.
    Is everyone talking about the one at the bottom of the cooler?

    The tool look like the picture I am attaching. I tried looking for it in Amazon in metric sizes but I don't know what they are called.

    Ratcheting wrench ;).

    Also an E8 Torx socket is very helpful (y).

    I used a swivel socket, and a wobbly extention, and the e-torx.
    I rarely use the rachet wrench.

    What did I do with my Gen 3 today? Bought it! Got a certified pre-owned 2015 Gen 3 package 2 for DD1 with only 18k miles. Sweet and she’s happy! We are now a three Prii family
