Default PCV Valve

My PCV is in need of changing (40+k on the orignal) however, I have no clue on how to take it off. Does it screw off? Do you have to yank it out? Just so I'm sure, it's located on the passenger side valve cover right?

Should yank right out, be careful of the plastic elbow, they can be fragile. Replace with Ford original only (I'm not even sure you can get them at Auto Z / Pep B)

You need to twist it off. Dont just yank it off or youll brake the tabs.

I've used an aftermarket pcv valve and it works just as good as a ford one..

About this also. Just got mine from Ford in which the system and my manual calls for EV-98 (now EV-98B) but in fact, EV-261 is the right part.
