Help changing PCV Valve...

I found pics on changing the PCV Valve, but I don't see anything on how to actually change it. It appears to be held by a clip, but I don't see a way to actually get to it.

Since I only find pictures of the location, I assumed that it's a easy change. I must be missing something really easy. Please help me out.

Forgive me for this question...

small 4 inch or so hose no too far from the throttle body. It has clamps on both ends you will need to loosen then pull the hose off the pcv, pull the pcv put new one in, replace the hose. Only hard part is there isnt much play in the hose. Just be patient.

So are you saying to take the entire hose off, replace the pcv and then put entire structure back on. I assume this is a job for one with small hands...

How long did it take to get the hose back on. mine is obstructed a little. Not real easy to get to.

Me and a friend worked together on it with pliers screwdrivers etc.. So we had 4 hands on it. Toughest part is getting the new one back in.
