PCV replacement. Pull manifold or not to pull.

[s'ko]

Ok so I read that post about the PCV replacement in the how to section.

Seems like it's a major PITA to get to. I am wondering if it will take the same amount to time to remove the top part of the manifold and remove the PCV that way.

Thoughts?

Use a crow foot wrench or make one up. Check my old locker for a photo of my wrench.

Thoughts point to do not pull your manifold off. It is not required. It will not save you time...you will brake stuff....maybe

hi pull the hose off ,use a mirror and see if its glogged ,if its in good shape leave it alone ,you can change it with a bent wrench and some nimble fingers

many brittle and heat worn vacuum lines are quietly waiting for you to disturb there resting place and once disturbed oh how they will break and laugh! I would not pull the mani unless you needed to or wanted to do the thermo spacers. My .02

Yeah do the crows foot wrench thing, dont yank the manifold unless you have all of the needed gaskets for the intake, EGR, and throttle body and lots of vacuum line.
