Get a 1/16th open end wrench, remove the booster vac. hose off the valve, remove the large nut under the egr valve, 2 bolts hold the valve, but they might be stuck, so remove the throttle body, and clean out the ducts. The egr valve hardly ever goes out, its the carbon inside the throttle body that stops up.

I agree why are you changing the EGR valve? Let me guess, Autozone diagnosed a P0401 low EGR flow and you bought their EGR valve hook line and sinker?
As the others said it's a part that rarely goes out but is easy to change usually with 2 10 mm screws and a 1 1/16th inch wrench
But I lay bet it's a sensor called the DPFE that is causing your problem... the carbon build up I have seen (It's behind the throttle plates and hidden and best cleaned off the truck) but the sensor are known failures and I've seen a few people buy an EGR valve as Autozone just so happens to sell it and is one of the possible "causes"...
Take it to a real shop like a Ford dealer and let them Diag it correctly.... depending upon the sensor, it's usually about a $100

What kind of motor. 4.2 or 4.6 Both are very easy to remove. And both are located on the upper intake. One tube from the manifold and 2 bolts. 1 vacuum line.
