1990 volvo 760 turbo

Trying to replace oil trap box, but EGR valve is mounted above one of the bolts.

Don't see how to remove the bracket that hold the EGR in place?

The second 12mm bolt on the oil trap seems impossible to get to without getting this bracket/egr out of the way.

any help would be appreciated. Before I get my sawzall out...

    Okay, figured this out.

    loosen the 22m acorn nut that holds the pipe to the valve.

    After this is losened, the bracket become flimsy enough that it will bend when you apply pressure, using at 24mm wrench on the large bolt. While pulling on the wrench, you can sneak the 12mm socket down into place to get that last bolt off the oil trap. seem like they could have designed the bracket to keep the egr a bit more away from the trap....
