Default egr piping

I'm looking for an easy way to remove the egr piping so that i can clean it without having to remove the throttle body or moving part of the exhaust, does anybody know a way? btw its on my 2001 monte carlo ss 3.8L

If you just cleaning it, remove the egr valve and use a pipe cleaner or coat hanger and carb cleaner in the tubes. Is there a reason you need to clean it? I've yet to see a 3.8 liter with plugged up egr passages and I've worked on a lot of them.

I just took mine out and put on block off plates. Easier than cleaning and looks much better
