Not sure there is write up on this site to be honest.
It's quite easy to do and should only take 10-15 mins to remove/refit.
The cleaning part is extremely messy and can take quite some time depending on how dirty it is.
All you need to do is to remove the inlet duct from EGR valve, then undo the clamp which holds the exhaust input.
A tip here is to completely undo the screw in the clamp and open the clamp right up, it will be obvious why you do this after you've got it off.
Then remove the small rubber vacumn line.
After that it's just a matter of removing the 4 allen key bolts that hold the EGR valve onto the inlet manifold.
Getting the bottom 2 allen key bolts refitted can be a challenge but the re-assemble is pretty straight forward.
Some places sell EGR cleaner in pressure pack cans which is the best stuff if you can get it, otherwise carby cleaner will probably suffice.
What ever you use just make sure it's friendly with the alloy EGR body and the brass parts inside the body.
