so yeah. i was trying to replace my pcv valve. after struggling for an hour to get the damn hose clamp thingy off, the pcv valve was still stuck in the hose. i was being hecka gentle, but the bastard broke. i can't really see where the hose goes. i broke off 3-4 inches of hose. so i was wondering, how screwed am i? is this something i can fix myself, or am i looking at a tow and a large bill?

 

k, so i figured out where the hose goes. i think i am actually more depressed now though... i don't have particularly large hands, but i'm no where near being able to pull this off without removing lots of big things. has anyone replaced the pcv hose without removing the intake manifold? is it possible? this is killing me. it is so close but i cant get it.

 

get under the car, fight with it from there... you'll have to do that to remove the IM anyway...
