EGR Valve cleaning

I pulled off my EGR valve just now because I think it may have part in my drivability problems. The port is semi clogged with carbon build up and the diaphragm was somewhat sticking. When I manually squeeze the diaphram, the shaft squeaks and chatters...so I'm assuming it wasnt opening at all or maybe only a little. Anyway, I think I'm just going to buy a new gasket and blast the thing with some carb and choke cleaner. Has anybody ever cleaned oneof these or do all of you millionaires just replace them. I also found two spark plugs were loose and had all carbon on the outside. I think she'll run way better after im done this weekend
