I did. You just loosen the cooling unit mounting bolts and this gives the required amount of play. Fit the plate/gaskets and re tighten the cooling unit bolts last.

yes I did trying for ages took out the gasket went right on no leaks so it fine
I have been in the motor trade for over 35years fitted lots of egr plates and a lot don't come with gaskets

hi. I was planning to take the EGR & the cooling unit off in 1 piece just undoing the 4 bolts on the cooling unit & the 2 clips around the metal pipes either side that way putting it back would be easier with the gaskets on or not

don't think you can get the bolt out very easy that way but it was 6 months ago

Thats what I did but the 2 bolts into the manifold can be a bitch and I snapped the first one and had to drill it out so I left the other one as it was difficult to get a direct line to drill it so I checked that the EGR was clean and closed then just used the Tafmet unit.
