PCV valve - how to change?
I've changed PCVs on my other vehicles but this PCV has a brass hex nut around the valve and I don't know how to remove it. Is this an OEM replacement? How do I seperate the plastic valve from the nut?

You dont really have to replace the pcv valve unless it damaged or you have a bad carbon buildup problem. Most times you can just take it out, clean it up real good and it will be good as new.
The original pcv valves are made out of metal and most replacements are made of plastic. So you are better off with the factory one
As for taking it out....I just pulled it out real hard. I had to use some pliers

On the V8 its on the driver side valve cover towards the front of the car. It was have a padded vacuum hose running back to the throttle body. Just remove the hose and pull up on the valve itself and slip the new one on, simple as that.
