Good enough reason for me to get a new Jeep! ;-)

I removed mine using a forked pry bar, about an inch hole in the middle.
each flat prong around the CCV base and it came out without breaking.
However, you should replace it with a new one. It cost me CDN $9.80 at a DC
dealer. The front one is a breather only, I removed it as well but no clog
there so I just cleaned it and put it back.
BTW I have the exact same Jeep as you.
