Default How to remove the CCV from the valve cover : /

So trying to get this out without damaging its on a 01 I have seen some of them are slotted and need to be rotated it looks like earlier years though does anyone know if that is on my year also.

If it isnt whats the best way to get this off with breaking anything thanks.

It just pulls out of the grommet...if you're lucky. Spend the ten bucks and buy a new grommet and CCV valve, the old CCV will break and the grommet will be rock hard.

But, you are right it will break. It is hard to get them out without it breaking.
