EGR Pipe Removal

Hey.
Has anyone removed their egr pipe that leads from the exhaust manifold to the intake egr valve? I am having some difficulty tryin to pry it out so I gave up for the night lol.
Do I need to remove the intercooler pipe coming from the turbo in order to get it out?
Any help would be great.
Thanks a lot! Love browsing the forums here. Ill have to post up some pics and specs on my Jetta!

Why do you want to remove it ?

This thtead will be locked. This forum doesnt like talk of removing emmisions stuff. Youll most likely have to search else where.

Just take a sawzall to it bro. Let us know how turns out.

Who said anything about removing it permanently. People need to relax lol. I did get it out in one piece by loosening the intercooler pipe and removing the hose from the discharge pipe. Had enough room to wiggle and twist it out. Almost resorted to a sawzall .

Thanks to the people who responded with relevant posts!

taboo cant do that here>>>>>>>>>>
