Re: Removing CCV for cleaning
The front one turns 90 degrees to come out, the cover is slotted. I
have never removed the back one, but it is likely the same. The pipe on
the back one just pulls out on mine. My pipe was blocked up bad. I
soaked it in carb cleaner for a while and used a chunk of wire to ream
the crap out.

Re: 90deg didn't work Was: Removing CCV for cleaning
Would you please follow up on the 'right' way to remove them?
I am more than curious, have only removed one front one from a 92 and it
turned 90 deg. to remove.

This is for a 4.0L 6 cyl. The CCV elbow is the rear elbow on top of the
valve cover. The air intake elbow (looks the same but hollow) is in the
front. I had to take a visegrip wrench on both and break them off. The
grommets are the same part number for each and they were take off using
channel locks. All the old parts were destroyed and then I cleaned off
the baffles inside with a screw driver and vaccuum cleaner so nothing
fell inside.
The CCV elbow was totally caked and the open elbow up front has a nice
crusty layer of caked sludge.
BTW, the CCV elbow stayed intact because it is more solid with a small
hole. I still chucked to old one and will be maintaining the one I bought.

Re: 90deg didn't work Was: Removing CCV for cleaning
Ok....
But are the grommets or the cover slotted so turning them the right way
lets them come out or are the holes round and you just pop the suckers
out or the new ones in?
I am talking the 4.0.
What year is yours?
