Just a bit of patience, strong hands and of course replacement parts in hand before beginning. Dorman makes a nice replacement elbow:
Amazon.com: Dorman 46017 HELP! PCV Elbow Assembly: Automotive Amazon.com: Dorman 46017 HELP! PCV Elbow Assembly: Automotive

If the hose from the PCV to the elbow is in bad shape it can be replaced with almost anything that fits but is also intended for automotive use.

While you're at this double-check the valve cover grommet---it should be available separately too if its bad. I'd use just a dab of dielectric grease around the insert portion to keep it soft and supple, effecting a better seal.

I saw one for a GM in the help isle at the parts store, was like 2 L's together, cut and you have 2, it's far stronger than the one Ford uses and cost the same, fit better too, because that one above will not.
