Pcv valve

[Stranger ranger]

Well it just so happens the 90* elbow coming outta the intake rusted through, which gave me a vacuum leak, so, I had one from another motor lying around and when I went to pull the rusted one outta the plenum, it broke off flush to the plenum. Any frickin idea on how I should or can remove it WITHOUT removal of the dam plenum??? It just slides in with no threads so I wont have to re-tap it, but man that's a pain in the ass.

well since you have a hole in the PCV valve, can you stick a hook in it and pull up? Even if you remove the plenum, I dont think you can easily get to the PCV valve.

Good luck...

I dont think you comprehend what had a hole in it. the little 90* steel elbow coming directly out of the plenum.

Can you post a picture?

I am assuming yours looks like

If thats the case and it broke right at the bend, I was thinking you would have a straight shot into the plenum. I thought it broke at the lip, where it sits flush with the plenum. Can you just use pliers?

tried it dude, it didnt break at the bend, when i went to twist it to loosen it up, because it was being a real D*ck, it just twisted off clean at the plen... if it was was seized up that much to break it as i twisted, its gonna be hell trying with needle noses, and btw, the pic didnt work.
