Sorry for people that give answers like that. I don't even know why they waste there time if there not going to help someone. I'm in the process of doing this right now also for my 1994 Mustang 3.8L. I'm going to start off and say its a PITA to change and if you have big hands then to make it easier. You can try this. One its to remove the Transmission dip stick. I couldn't get a tool up there to remove it but you might have better luck. with that removed you need to get a wrench or a Crows foot maybe both. the size you need from the exhaust connection nut is ( 1 1/16 ) its a pain to to i had to use crows foot and extensions. But to put it back on was even worse so I suggest to just to drop you exhaust but leave the manifolds on. You will get a better reach and. it might help if your remove the top nut before you install the bottom nut back on. that should help it line up better. this is the time to also inspect your hoses.you can get new ones of for $5.00 for the pair. They are special hoses due to the extreme heat of the exhaust gasses. close to 800 F. I also before removing it tried JB weld and muffler repair to seal the hole. It was way to hot for them and melted them off or turned them into brittle flakes. you can find a new EGR tube sometimes on EBay for my year 94-96 3.8L work and 4.6L, but the 5.0 are completely different. I got lucky to find the one I did. But there are companies that will sell you there used ones for $146.00 and up. I got lucky and got mine for $45.00. Call local junkyards in your area you might get lucky. Mine did have a little rust on it. so i used white vinegar. I don't think it really worked well. But Ended up using an SOS pad and that cleaned it up perfectly. I wish you the best on tackling this job but it can be done. Just don't rush it or force it or you might brake something else or the used part.
Take it out, put a new one in. easy as that. word.
