    this is just another example.

     configuration

[root@ve11b:Active:In Sync] config  tmsh list ltm rule qux
ltm rule qux {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  set uri [HTTP::uri]
  if { $uri contains "format=XYZ" } {
    HTTP::uri [string map {"&format=XYZ" "" "format=XYZ&" "" "format=XYZ" ""} $uri]
  }
  log local0. "Before: $uri After: [HTTP::uri]"
}
}

 /var/log/ltm

[root@ve11b:Active:In Sync] config  tail -f /var/log/ltm

Jun 10 22:03:09 ve11b info tmm[10343]: Rule /Common/qux : Before: /data/12345=rank&format=XYZ After: /data/12345=rank
Jun 10 22:03:17 ve11b info tmm1[10343]: Rule /Common/qux : Before: /data/format=XYZ&12345=rank After: /data/12345=rank

Hi Bryan,

In my example, I considered that the parameter may be in the beginning, case insensitive

And I think that the pool statement is useless in that scenario. 
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::query]] starts_with "format=xyz" } {
        HTTP::uri ""
    } elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::query]] contains "&format=xyz" } {
        HTTP::uri [string range [HTTP::uri] 0 [expr "[string first "&format=xyz" [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]]-1"]]
    }
    log local0. "[HTTP::uri]" 
}

I hope it helps you. [ ]
