The underside of that valve cover, where the tube is for the pcv valve, is not open on the end. It is enclosed. My thoughts of valve cover removal to push out from the inside is a no go but if need be, I could remove the valve cover and have it on a bench to have easier access. Or replace the valve cover assembly, if is a worse case scenario.#2. There is plenty of room between the passenger side back end of the valve cover and the firewall. I believe there is enough inner diameter to the grey housing of the pcv valve to reach in with a pick with a 90 degree or curled hook and grab at the holes you see in the pics. Then pull it out and I can use a bigger tool to use for leverage at the handle end of the pick. The only thing seized up is the o-rings. #3. I have a set of left hand thread easy outs that are big enough to slide inside that grey broken piece and see if I can twist it out, #4. I cannot use penetrating fluid and spray in there because I do not want it mixing with the new oil.</blockquote>
