I talked to the mechanic today and he DID NOT replace the PCV valve when he reinstalled the engine. (That seems like poor workmanship to me). He had me check the metal tube at the bottom of the hose and there was oil on it. He is too far away to work on it so can someone explain how to get the PCV valve off of the car so I can replace it? I think he didn't do it because it is really stuck. Do I need to remove the breather and what type/size wrench to use would help. It has power brakes. Thanks, Liz, (who is mechanically challenged.)
