I tried yanking, pulling twisting, and nothing happen. I'm afraid I might break it, or something that goes with it. Does the grey part twist out or does the black vavle portion twist out.

I need help!

Well you did not say what year your stang is but if it is a 99+ you have to twist the gray part of the pcv.I used a pair of pliars.

pliers work....mine twists off...problem here is finding a replacement......you won't.... it's probably the "o" ring that needs to be replaced, ..if you can find the correct "o" ring size, replace it....i couldn't.....so i improvised and added another "o" to the valve to stop the leaking...it's been 2 wks now and no more problems...good luck..

PEWTERPONY, LOT'S of LUCK!!.. I must have visited every FORD, LINCOLN, MERCURY, MAZDA, JAGUAR..dealer in Austin.... NOBODY had the correct PCV valve that I needed...so, what I did was my only option...
BTW, what kind of exhaust setup are you getting?

LOL, I'll find it dude

I'm getting a full catback exhaust from magnaflow with 2.5" mandrel bent pipe and an o/r xpipe from magnaflow, which I think is a Dr. Gas pipe. I paid 612$ for it installed

LOL Rolen sorry....It looks like a um....little spark plug boot. It sits on your valve cover (on on each one) The one that goes bad is the passenger side one. They are ball valves so I guess the ball gets stuck, but nothing really happens other than oil seaps thru the grommet of the pvc valve and makes a mess
