I saw a resent question on PVC valves. I tried to get to the
valve on the driver side and your right it is a bitch. Never
even got a turn on it using a mirror and a open face wrench.
What exactly does it take to get that bad boy out?

Blood and sweat in my experience. I would recommend disconnecting as much of the junk in that area as you dare and it will make for at least a little less blood. Just remember wher it goes. Also, especially for that side, take the "cut the hose and replace it" advice. The hose is hard to get off and there isn't much room to pull. Much easier to put on when thet're new.

Thanks for the advise! One thing though. Is a special wrench
needed?

 

nope, once you get the hose off, you can use a socket

Thanks!

 

One last question on this issue. Do you have to get
preformed hose from Nissan or can you use regular
hose from the parts store?

I know there is one hose that you have to get from nissan but people say you cabn get the other from a parts store. Sorry I'm not sure which one it is. I just got both of mine through nissan. http://www.courtesyparts.com/z32/oe_pcv.html
