1994 volvo 850 turbo wagon - EGR valve

Anybody have any tips on how to reinstall the EGR valve into the intake manifold? I found you pretty much have to bolt down the intake manifold and then try to get the EGR valve attached. The pipe is just a bear to manipulate. It took me hours and I was somehow able to reattach it, but it seems like there has to be a better way. Just wondered if anybody had any experiences? Thanks.

I had the same problem. I found that having the manifold bolts loose let me wiggle the manifold until I found the sweet spot.

Good job. I did that the first 2 times, but found the intake manifold was not flush, thus creating a big vacuum leak.
