Hehehe, I was doing an intake manifold cleaning and on disassembly broke the nipple for the hose that connects to the EGR valve (there's two, the one shown in this picture)

My questions are:
Can you replace just this part (part#?) or does the whole EGR have to be replaced? Or can it be glued back on with crazyglue or something?

Tks.

There is a "how to" about that on here somewhere. I thing the jist was to use epoxy, but slide a drill bit inside the nipple to hold it all together as the epoxy sets.

You can also take the "straw" from an aerosol can and push it in there before using the epoxy. When dry just snip off the remainder that is sticking out. The ID of the straw is still sufficient for everything to function normally.
