well i replaced it when i did my oil pan because i had to pull the intake off anyways but just to make your life easy pull your intake off of it. it make the job alot easier and you dont have to cut your hands up on the firewall

ok so first off reach your hand behind the intake (first pic)feel for a hose (second pic)try to get the hose in you hand enough to lift upwards on hose so that your left hand is which is under the intake can feel the pcv valve pull out of your valve cover(third pic) and turn the hose and pcv valve uppwards and pull pcv valve out of hose and install is opposite of removal

Its not hard, you don't need to remove anything but the hose and pcv valve. Every time Ive done it its taken less than a minute to do. I turn the pcv valve outward toward the passenger side while pulling the house, works easier for me. Its just a short L hose.

The pcv valve is on top of the passenger side valve cover toward the back. The upper intake hangs over it. A hose connects it to a pipe on the rear passenger side of the intake. If you can't find the valve then find the piece on the intake and follow the hose to the valve
