If you are talking bout the black painted steel support bracket for the egr valve, yes it bolts to the head with 2x12mm bolts. You will need a 12mm crows foot spanner to access them because the fuel pipes are in the way.
I don't need to remove it, when I do egr cleans.
It takes me 4 hrs & I've done a few.
Remove windscreen wipers and plastic trims first.
There is so much stuff to remove, to do it right without risks.
This is why I have not written a novel About it. Not yet anyway.

Hi All, I'm just at the begin stages of prepping my 2010 D4D for the big lap, I have got all the bits and pieces to do the EGR Blanking 7mm hole, catch can
etc but I thought I would check the unit for build up and holy crap, needs cleaning big time. My question is looking down into the manifold ( with EGR off) makes me want to rip that off for clean as well, at least a 8 mm build up on the surfaces, Is this major job? is it worth doing?
Also if I'm this far down with 97k on the clock should I be chucking a set of injectors through her at the same time?
Would like to say thanks to all who contribute to the great info on this forum, I look forward to contributing in someway myself.
Cheers.

Hey Flukie,
I cleaned my manifold at similar kms to yours. It was disgusting all the way to the ports and I am glad I did it. But it is a bastard of a job. Professionals would take in the 5-6 hour range for this job; I spent half of Sunday pulling it off, 2 evenings cleaning and a final evening reassembling. And heaps of swearing at Toyota for not being so easy to work on any more. I'm inclined to recommend just cleaning to the elbow unless you're up for at least a day of pain. Buy heaps of carby cleaner (I used 5 cans).
I used a catch can for a while but took it off after cleaning the manifold as it was clear it was doing feck nothing. And there are concerns that it dries out the crap going through your intake system causing more wear.
Good luck!

Very easy to install. Took about 5 mins.
1GD plate with 7mm hole next to a 1KD plate. EGR pipes are bigger on the 1GD.
Installed on the Driver side near the firewall. You can just see the tab sticking out. Pretty stealthy.

Valve clearance check .Second fuel filter plus replaced the other 2 . Catch can. Engine flush and cooling system flush . Removed the chip and had the thing remapped.

Clean it.
You are pulling half of it apart to get plate in anyway.
