How you guys clean EGR? There's a gasket that cannot be removed and I heard it have a good chance to be damaged during cleaning. So if you know the way to avoid that I'll really appreciate that info.

A nice step-by-step with photos would be great. The last thing I want to do is try to clean my EGR to reduce my oil consumption and end up with a CEL or worse...

Its easy.

When my mechanic cleaned mine he explained that the gasket had to be replaced whenever cleaning happens...
Think it was a $30 part, but I could be wrong...

zorak,
did your gasket have a burn off screen on it??
i have cleaned my egr aat least 5 times, and havent changed the gasket yet. it came off clean, and figured i could re use it.'
i have heard of a gasket with the screen built into it, and it supposedly helps burn off carbon before it can be deposited in the egr, which is the problem anyway.
i would sure like to find em somewhere.......

The only supplier for those gaskets with screens that I have ever been able to find is this one:

but they don't list any Isuzu 3.5L applications
If anybody else knows of a source for these I would certainly be interested...

There's a non-removable gasket on it (about half inch from the bottom side, IIRC): you have to completely distructable disassemble the valve to change it.
