Every PCV valve I've ever seen contains just a spring and metal stopper; simply spraying the inside with "gumout" or any other carb cleaner will do the trick. The worst that can happen is the valve gets gummy with oil crud and doesn't open/close properly.
I haven't looked for it of the TL, but it's usually on the rocker arm cover.

i would just replace it they usually arent that much and a can of carb cleaner usually costs just as much and wont make it just like new. and its a the VALVE cover not rockerarm cover
