I (unsuccessfully) tried to replace my pcv valve on my 1982 22R for
the second time today. I had a hot engine, hot day (90°), oil around
the gasket, vice grips on the valve, and a crow-bar prying up, no
luck. It just will not budge. Turning it while pulling does not help
either. Any ideas on how to get it out? I think i may be staring down
the barrel of valve cover removal.

Chas,

I've got an electronic 1985 Factory Service Manual that I could email you;
however, I was not able to find where it shows how to remove the PCV valve.

If interested in the manual, you or others can contact me here:

I have a service manual- but it just says it should pull out. If your
manual has anything else, please email me @ rowdy235(a)hotmail.com

#1: Make sure you have a new grommet on hand before you start!

I had the same problem on my '88 22R. I finally used a hacksaw blade and
cut the grommet (I cut it parallel to the valve cover). I was then able
to use a small pair of wire cutters to break the grommet in half and
remove the PCV valve. I managed to fish out one part of the old grommet,
but the other half is still in there (two years later) and hasn't caused
any problems.

The grommet got so hard over the years, cutting was the only to remove
the valve.

Thanks tom, I am going to do the same, except I am going to remove the
valve cover because it is leaking oil and needs a new gasket anyway.
Thanks all.
