very easy to change...just make sure you squirt the bolts down with a penetrating oil about an hour before you are going to do this...It will help free up the bolts for removal. Vacuum leaks can cause rough idle poor gas mileage and hesitation

The answer to the EGR question depends - what vehicle/engine are we talking about??

Is there a problem with switching from unleaded plus (89) gas to regular (87)?

Not sure how to change them, but the nature of EGR is to recirculate exhaust gasses, that dont burn btw. if you have a vaccuum leak there, it should keep the valve closed, either way, if you suspect that system, it will cause the symptoms your describe

use proper spanners (wrenches), not some old adjustable. A socket or a ring is best. be careful to tighten the bolts just right, not so tight that the plate warps. (use the torque setting from the shop manual)
