Default Engine idiot needing some help.

Guys I have a 97 z28 that I need to change the EGR solenoid. I found this pic from shbox and is the part circled the EGR solenoid? I thought it was on the back on the intake drivers side?

No thats the EVAP purge solenoid IIRC.

The EGR is on the back of the intake like you said, can't miss it.

The way it looks it is pretty much a 10 min job, plug and play? Anyone know the size of the bolt I need to take off is?

as noted the pic you circled from shbox site is the EVAP purge. The 411 on that site is right, you must have looked at the wrong link

shbox link for EGR location: http://shbox.com/1/egr1.jpg

there are "nuts" you take off to remove EGR

The EGR solenoid is on a bracket attached to an intake manifold stud. 9/16" nut.
