I was doing some maintenace on my 98 XJ yesterday, and I tried to remove the crankcase breather tube on the front of the valve cover and the CCV on the back. Neither one would come off. I even broke the front one.

Two things: DO these things come out? If so, how?

Is the dealer or JY the only place to replace the CC Breather Tube? Now that it is broken, I need to replace it because I have a hole in the valve cover where I assume I am losing vacuum. So for now, Duct tape is covering it.

 

HAHAHA, I had the same problem. I fortunately had a valve cover with one on it so I swapped them out, but I still have the back one taped off. The one that goes to the intake. I would like to know as well.
