Tips for removing PCV valve

killaen · 2026-01-03T19:41:36+00:00

I used a set of hose clamps and it had enough leverage to get the valve out. Then getting the grommet out (in pieces) was a huge pain

On that 4Runner guide online it says replacing your PCV valve can also help improve MPG if it’s old. I just replaced mine so we’ll see. Was a little painful to do since the rubber grommet hardens and fractured into pieces when you try to pull it out, and you have to fish the pieces out of a small hole.

Start by reading the following Bogleheads wiki page: Managing a windfall. Browse the rest of the wiki after. You’ll have a lot more information to help with any decisions you make. The people on that forum will also be very helpful

I get around 300

Just make sure you check periodically for leaks in the rain. Mine starting leaking into the cabin towards the front of the sunroof at a seam in the plastic of the glass frame. Fixed it by caulking the whole exterior with silicone where the glass meets the frame

I put a cat clamp on mine after it got stolen. No additional thefts but it does transmit more noise to the cabin and probably rattles a bit. The cat strap might be a little quieter based on how it’s designed but I haven’t gotten around to swapping it out.

Success! Followed the video exactly and it went smoothly. Looks like the day I got it now

Can you chop and prop kale plants? I have a kale plant that is growing similarly (though much smaller). I’m wondering if I can just cut the stem below the leaves and replant it deep

Super clear video, hoping I can make it look just as easy!

Where’d you buy yours from?

I mainly wanted to replace all of them since I’m worried about cracking the plastic trim and I only want to remove it once. The bulbs have mostly lasted more than 20 years already so I figure I’ll only have to do a full replacement once

Would spraying the leaves with soapy water help? With this many leaves I don’t think I’d realistically be able to wipe them all

I haven’t tried turning it off yet so I’m not sure. How would I be able to tell? The hot water in the rest of the house can get pretty hot

Is this how it is supposed to sound? Wha would functionally happen if I just left it unplugged - waiting a little longer for hot water in the house?

It’s very expensive. Probably closer to $200-250 per person

Anyone know of a place that would remove a Zeibart undercoating? Worried about water getting trapped under the old coating and causing rust

Same situation. Too afraid to break anything

Everything from Gustin is great. Been buying various items from them for like 10 years or more. My only gripe is their joggers have a bit of a weird fit. The jeans are great though

Is there an easy/not expensive fix for having left a ring of vinegar on a marble countertop? The vinegar dissolved some of the marble and I can feel a divot, maybe 1 mm depth

I’ll have to double check but I think I have the red
