Default Tips for Valve Cover Removal

I just received a Spoon valve cover and was wondering if you guys could tell me how to remove PCV hoses. I tried to remove them this weekend, but I could not get them to budge!

Thanks,
Will

He has an 04 so it has to be unscrewed out. Use a pair of pliers to get the clamps loose and pull them back along w/ the hose then use a socket to take the PCV valve off. Sorry dunno the size

Thanks. The front hose does not have anywhere to unscrew. Do I just have to use a lot of force to pull the hose off? I helms manual just says something like "remove the hoses."

You can use a screwdriver and pry at the ends to see if it'll let go, I wouldn't go pulling on hoses cuz you can do more damage to it. Also by pulling, you'll stretch the shit outta the hose which wouldn't be wise.

The first time you need to take them off they will be a PITA.. I use pliers & a screw driver w/ electrical tape wrapped on the end to prevent scratching.. pull & pry until you're blue in the face
