A 90 LS400 with what could very well be the original PCV valve,is proving a bear to remove.It spins,it rocks from side to side,but i can't pull that sucker out even with a vise grip! Is there some secret to removal? do i have to pull off the plastic gasket first (i don't think so) do i need to go back to the gym? Any and all advice gladly accepted.TIA!

Maybe this link will help. I think Lee also had trouble getting the PCV off.

I finally was able to extract the PVC valve but managed to leave behind half the plastic grommet that broke off and fell into the valve cover-had to play the game "Operation" with a pair of needle nose pliers to pull it out in pieces.Went to my local Toyota dealer and he matched up a nice modern rubber grommet and with a little carb cleaner brought the old PVC back up to spec.Life is good again
