snapped my pcv valve in half today trying to change it. i tried to pull the bottom part out of the lower pcv hose, but seemed to have damaged the hose or at least whetever part of the hose was holding it into the IM.

the lower hose looks like a PITA to get to? which is the best way to get to the breather box where the other end attaches? do i have any options other than replacing it?
