I just did this job yesterday. The tools that are a must have: 90 degree needle nose pliers, 17 mm deep socket, 6" extension, good flashlight AND a universal joint. I could not have done this with out the universal joint. Getting the hose off the PCV valve was nearly impossible, tried prybar ($10 from Harbor Freight) and hose pliers ($14 from HF). Didn't work for me, either because I couldn't fit them in there of lack of leverage. I used the 90* needle nose gently to twist off the hose. I had to use a break bar to get the the valve off. I would say it took me an honest 30-45 minutes going back and forth to my tools. My local dealer said they don't replace these parts on newer cars and pretty much laughed at me. Then said it would be about $165 + tax. NO THANKS! $50 for tools and $25 for OEM Honda part online and I was done. And I have some tools that I can use another time. Bending the bracket was a little intimating, didn't want to break it. I bent it back maybe 2 mm, just enough to get my socket in there. I didn't even bother bending to original state once I was done with the job. The green connector fit just fine...so don't go all "gorilla strength" on the bracket. Do this job yourself, its not too bad.

Great video! - however use should have shown the tools you used. I needed a 10" long needle nose pliers to get the hose clamp and hose off. I used a 1/2 ratchet with a 10" long extension and a universal joint to get the correct angle. Also a deep well 17 mm socket was needed.

Access to the PCV is TIGHT. Looks like simple job that will take 5 minutes, but it will take way longer.

Thanks for the comment about putting the clamp down first before putting on the hose. It was a pain to do without that help.

Excellent, to the point. Thank you for the video

Haynes has you put the vehicle on jacks and do this from the bottom, which for me proved nearly impossible. Thanks for this video.

I'm going to give this a shot soon once I get a new valve. Also have to replace other things but if this is DIY doable then I'm going to do it damn it. Thanks for the video

He skipped over the hardest part of removing the hose

Simple enough fix but as some comments mentioned below it's a very tight access even after you remove the ground wire. Be prepared to have variety of tools ready especially short handle/ angled tools to take out the clamps on the tube.

Simple and to the point, good stuff. My Civic’s oil appears to be disappearing at an alarming rate (~50% every 6,000 miles) so I’m guessing a leak developed or it’s burning too much from the PCV valve being stuck in or out. Funny enough, my gas mileage is still around 31-33 average when I calculate it. Gonna throw a new one on and see if it fixes it, thanks!

17mm socket needed to remove PCV valve.

If the PCV isn't stuck you can just clean it with carb/intake cleaner.

Awesome video, thank you.

Thank you!

Thanks dog❤

Thanks,excellent video. 👍

Can’t believe they tried to charge 165 just for this easy ass fix. Thanks to KZfaq I’ll be doing it my damn self

Doesn't a washer go in with the pcv valve?

Hey dude, thanks for the tip with the PCV, my Civic was consuming about a litre of oil between changes even when I was driving it 2-3000 miles a year. Might ask my mechanic to change it next time it goes in... for this other issue, I wonder if you might have any ideas. My car has developed a weird noise that only happens under specific conditions - in gear, 2k+ RPM, gas pressed down/high torque called for, eg when climbing hills or doing a pull. No loss of power, just a kind of rattling sound coming from somewhere deep in front of me as I drive it... and no unusual noise at idle. I'm stumped.

How do you remove the ground wire clip? I have tried pliers and it will not budge.

What's the torque spec for tightening the new valve?

Thanks for posting. I have an 06 Civic with 150K miles, and replacing the PCV valve is next on my maintenance list. I was also curious if you've experienced any oil leaks around the PCV/ VTEC solenoid area? I think this region is prone to leaking. I also believe I have an oil leak around the chain timing cover. Have you experienced any leaks around this area as well?

👍👍

Also, question: I was told I have a leak around my "pcv plate". I have no idea what that is and can't find much info online or in the Haynes manual. Does it go by another name? Is it the oil/air separator? Mechanic said I have to remove the intake manifold to get to it...

What were the symptoms that caused you to replace the pcv valve?

Hi I just saw your video and would like to say thank you and here is my question on the car I’m working on the person has to pull over shot off the car start it again and revs the car for it to pick up speed and go past 51 52 miles other wise it chokes and won’t pick up speed the way it should could the pvc vale be the reason why it does that and thank you in advance

I have the same honda civic and I tried today but it is impossible with the regular pliers that I have.

I saw nothing, gotta get some lights.

take a shot everytime he says pcv valve

Hi guys! I need your help. I am seeing smoke when I remove the dipstick and oil cap. The car is consuming oil too 800ml on 3000km. I dont see any smoke coming out of exhaust. Is it the pcv valve or my oil rings are worn out?

Why would you change it?

one question ! is that pcv the inlet section ? the one u replaced ?

I have a bunch of oil on mine could it be leaking oil from there?
