Hey bro some advice for you on how I removed my PCV valve - I struggled with this as well on my 2008 IS350! 1. Make sure to remove that clamp and hose first - You may have done this already but just making sure you did! 2. Use that crows foot wrench, get a socket extension and now you should be able to turn it left (wait for next step - I know it is still very tight) 3. What FINALLY broke it loose for me was getting a LONG BREAKER BAR. Attatch it to the end of your socket to get MORE LEVERAGE - and finally break that thing loose. Once it is loose you can even use that socket to just slowly start taking it out. I really hope this helps and reach out if you need more help - good luck!
That’s strange. My mechanic was able to replace my PCV valve in my 2012 IS 350 without removing the intake manifold. He used an extension for his socket wrench, and changed it in 5 minutes.
@@dirtomega Perhaps I need to buy thinner sockets. The sockets that I bought are just too thick so it’s impossible to get them through the intake manifold.

@@OfficialRohanPeri Thank you man, I’ll try it with a long breaker bar. I used a crowfoot wrench but not with a breaker bar.
When I did my spark plugs on my IS250 2 years ago I replaced as well…
You need a crowfoot extension
@@MrDashocker73 I bought two different ones and I still couldn’t get it off. Which one did you get? Do you have the link?
