I took off the plenum and undid all the connections except one. I think it's the pcv valve. Anyway, there's a hose that connects to it which connects to a valve cover it seems? Anyway, I can't get it off of the plenum! It's stuck. It won't budge. When I pull it looks like the hose is going to break! What do I do?

disconnect the hose from the valve cover, take the plenum off with the hose.

use a screwdriver to pry the hose off the plenum. they get heated onto the metal over time and won't come off unless you pry them.

Take the pcv off with the hose connected then get a ride to your local dealership and get a new one for ten bucks. Do you really think that when you pry it off with something it isn't going to leak later on? Plus when I ran into the same problem and got a new one form the dealer it was glued to the pcv
