first of all, fix that o-ring, it's leaking gas, and fuel pressure causing problems.

second, the egr valve is easy to get to, get an open ended wrench and go at it from the sides. five mins, top.

P0172 - fuel trim system rich, Bank1
P0174 - fuel trim system lean, Bank2
P0400 - EGR system

i would fix your o-ring issue and check the exhaust/egr piping for leaks. also examine the vacuum lines to the egr for cracks and such.
