EGR valve replacement on E500

Hello all, Im a noob, I know nothing..... nothing........ Anywhooo, I was at the ol' Autozone today to diagnose my CHECK ENGINE light, the autozone genius bar told me that my EGR valve was the most likely cause of my car's pain. Does anyone have any insight they would like to offer me for a DIY replacement on this thing???? it's a 2006 e500. Thanks in advance!

EGR is located @ back of engine you will need to remove engine cover. This thread (e320) will give you an idea where and what to look for as mentioned cleaning lines may resolve problem. If replacement is necessary current valve is part # is 1121400460 (to comparison shop, parts.com $100.80).
