Great write up. Thanks for posting. I was planning to follow the instructions in the service bulletin and remove the valve cover, but decided to try to clean the swirl ports with the valve cover on after reading your post.

As I wait for my walnut blasting kit to arrive, I decided to do a dry-run and try to remove the intake manifold. I got stuck when attempting to remove the electrical connector from the EGR valve. It has a white switch lock. I've pushed the switch one way and tried to pull / pry the connection apart. I pushed the switch the other way and tried again. Rinse and repeat until I was afraid I would get frustrated and break it.

Am I missing anything obvious? I attached a picture of the connector. I feel silly being stuck by a stupid electrical connector, but I'd rather be careful than break it. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
