Getting the Wheeling Fever

As I am not the handiest guy with a wrench I was not looking forward to replacing the PCV valve. The thought of taking the off the air intake, replacing gaskets and labeling hoses just for a $5.00 valve was a bit daunting. I am glad I was blessed with little hands. Taking the valve off was not a problem. Getting one back on was a bit trickier. I ended up winding electrical tape around the valve leaving a long tail. my hand were small enough to line the threads up and hold the valve in place while I pulled the electrical tape tail to get it started. I can hear the laughter from central phoenix. If there is an easier way. Please let me know. Thanks all. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Flexible drive for the pcv valve. Use a piece of fairly stiff hose that will slip over the valve nipple, gripping it tightly enough to apply torque. Doodle the valve into the hole and finesse the thread start and spin down.
I've used this method for starting difficult spark plugs for years.
