pcv is a B**ch

anyone else have a problem getting that tube off of the pcv valve??

the other end of the rubber tube is connected to a metal tube that doesn't budge and since there's only about 6 inches of rubber, it makes things really hard.

any tips for getting that bastard off???

You have to unscrew the 10 mm bolt that holds the metal pipe/bracket. If you don't you'll bend the pipe.

Unscrew the little bracket thing and push it up a little, then pull the hose off. The PCV valve was stuffed in good so I used pliers to pry it out since I was going to throw away the old one anyways. Took me like 2 minutes
