Could someone please tell me where this is under the hood and how difficult it is to take it out and replace?

The 8mm head bolts that secure it to the intake manifold are severe hand crampers and the flare nut from the EGR line is a PITA. If you plan on removing the EGR valve without taking off the intake manifold loosen the flare nut first. A 1/4" drive socket is a good choice for the mounting bolts ands I use a long wrench to get the flare nut loose.
