The manuals do not give the exact location, but from what I see it appears to be bolted to the back of the cylinder head.

See the attachments below for instructions on removal and replacement.

Let us know if you need anything else.

Unbolt the exhaust scavenge tube from the EGR then unbolt the EGR valve from the vehicle, and disconnect the vacuum line and electrical connector.
