How to pry PCV Valve loose?

Hi everyone,

I am in need of some help. I am replacing my pcv valve in my 2010 TL, but I am unable to pry it loose. It was a little tricky getting to it due to the harness cover being locked in place right on top of it. I was able to get enough clearance and got the bolt out. But I was unable to pull the PCV valve out. Any suggestions on how to pry it loose?

Thank you!

Rand

Get a small flat head screw driver and pry it out. Just be careful because there's a little metal piece that can fall out of it.

That happened to me. And I was never able to find the little piece I just had the intention of cleaning it but after that happened I decided to just get a new one.
