If it was a snake, it would have already bitten you.

In reference to a few posts where the users still seem a bit confused about the location of the PCV valve:

^ That illustration shows the valve on earlier models, or a last where the hose connects to the valve. The arrow is pointing to where the hose slips over the nipple on the valve. The rest of the valve pushes straight into a rubber grommet in the valve cover. It should pull straight out, but may require a little twisting/coaxing. Spraying a little bit of silicone lubricant around the valve, while rocking it slighly in the grommet, often helps to make it come out more easily.
