PCV valve ...

What's the best way to remove this sucker? Do I pull on the hose without removing the clamp, and the valve should pop out eventually? After it pops out, remove the clamp then, and insert a new valve, then reattach? There's like no room to do anything ... geesh. Maybe I'll get my 4 year old to try, hehe.

I don't know if the 00 model is threaded in but on my 02 I used a crescent wrench to loosen and it came out pretty easily. I had the intake manifold off as well cause I was doing the spark plugs. HTH

I just changed the PCV valve in my 03 Maxima. When I took out the old was it was oily and greasy.
My question is... what are the benefits of changing the PCV valve?
