PCV Replacement help.

I am replacing the PCV in my 88 F-150 Custom, 5.0. The hose is not budging, so before I break something, like my knuckles, does any one have any tips. Thanks

From: In my own world

just keep working on it until it comes off. the hose has dry rotted, and become hard, your going to have to replace it too. sometomes if you can get a pairof channel locks in there and twist/pull, etc. make sure you clean off the junk that stays behind when you get it off, before you put on your new hose

Thanks for the help, I had a tune up done on my truck and was surprised they didn't change the PCV. I just acquired this truck and I think that this is the original PCV, so i will change the hose too.
I always get positive feedback on this site, and appreciate the input from my fellow Ford lovers.
