How do you guys take out the PCV valve ni a 4th gen?
PCV Valve I took that pic for another member. I've changed the PCV valve on my 5th gen relatively easily because there is a decent bit of room around the valve but I was looking at the valve in the pic above last night and there is no room unless your hands are the same size as a 3 year old. The hose is so short between the valve and the metal pipe that sucks out the gas that I can't really see how a person would do it.
Am I right to think that one way is to just take the hose off first, then use some pliers - probably destroying the PCV valve in the process (they can be pretty stiff to pull)- and just rip it out?

i took off the hose on the pcv valve and the one above it and patiently used a pair of small pliars to wiggle it out and pull it off. just watch your hands and don't get scraped up.
i just replaced mine 3 days ago, so i know exactly how you feel.

thers a bracket on the top, loosen that, itll give you like 1/2 cm more play in the hose, then you can wiggle it out, i slightly cracked the hose, learned afte rthat that i had to loosen the little bracket, good luck, its a 2 minute job
