All you have to do is pull on the PCV valve and it will come out of the manifold. I think there is a clamp that connects the hose to the PCV valve, you might need a pair of plyers to get the clamp off the PCV valve.

I think you will only need the PCV valve.

It's easy--my dad changed mine in about 30 seconds.

it doesn't look that easy. is their any possible way that i can get a picture diagram? the chilton book ain't really helpful picture wise. the pcv valve seems to be in a tight place.
