Im trying to remove the pcv valve on my 2000 ex and im having trouble. While trying to pull the valve out it broke so now the black half is stuck in the hole. Is there an easy way to get it out? I tried prying it out with a screwdriver but its not helping. Anyone know if this part #2 be removed from the chamber? Is that chamber hard to get out? I can see one of the bolts from under the car but it looks like its held in with two bolts. Thanks.

remove bolt 11 and pull the entire canister off. itll probably help

 

Number 2 is supposed to stay in there. I hope you didn't damage it, its the rubber grommet that holds the pcv valve in place. just push in the new valve and your done.

 

removed both bolts and that canister wont budge. Only choice is going to be to remove the intake manifold.

 

you just have to give it a good pull. you could take off the manifold but man thats some unnecessary hassle for the pcv valve. good luck.

 

i tried to take off my pcv valve but i broke it in half, i tried all afternoon and well into the night i tried everything that i possibly could and i ran out of ideas. if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated. i have a 2000 honda civic ex d16y8.

 

if your pcv is placed in the intake manifold you first have to soften the rubber grommet that holds it in place. A kettle of boiled water or a heat gun will be the solution

 

This thread is from 2007.. Im quite sure the guy got it out by now..

Please dont bump old threads.

Can a Mod lock this down

 

Look at post 6 he has the same problem and wanted suggestions, so he searched like everyone tells people to do.

 

geez, i was answering @Ace38 who posted recently and since there was no clear answer previously, i thought i'll help a Honda brother out, since i had success with this issue. Did'nt know the forum police would mind

 

HAHAHA...forum police My **** broke too but I just put a screw in it and pulled the screw out with the pcv valve.

 

the grommet is pretty solid and its putting up a fight. but i will try hot water and see what happens thanks @vtec-8400rpm

 

i was too tired to get it out and just went to the dealership and they took it out. car runs great now! glad thats over with

 

Glad to hear the problem is solved. Old thread now closed.
