How to replace my EGR valve on my 99 Ford Escort

Need to replace the EGR on my Escort. I know how to do it it only has 2 nuts and the hose at the bottom. I cannot seem to get the hose off at the bottom as you know you have to loosen the nut at the top of the hose and pull the hose out. 1. I cant really get too the nut with a wrench it is a very tight squeese. 2. It is super tight it is all rusted out and all I sprayed with WD-40 but I still can't get too it. I took out the battery and the battery tray and it gave me a little more room, but not much. Any suggestions or ideas. Please don't tell me to take it to a shop because I do not want to pay to get this done $600 for a hour process. Plus I was told not a big deal if I change it or not just emmisions part. I want it done anyway. Anyone who has done this and hade the same problems or any advice please let me know. KyleHow to replace my EGR valve on my 99 Ford Escort
id use a torch and heat it up, that will break it loose. there is no way any shop would charge 600 dollars to change this part, try more like 100-150
