Default PCV Valve Grommet

Appears to be a leak at my front PCV valve (very loose grommet) causing a high idle. I want to slip a small piece of vinyl tubing on the pcv nipples and than reinstall the grommet in hopes this will seal the grommet to the pcv. My question is what is the best way to remove the existing pvc valve. Any tricks to doing this? Very tight quarters. Thanks for your help in advance

What do you mean, "front" PCV valve? There is a LH(driver side) & RH (passenger side)? Both of these items are available from www.jerrysgaskets.com under the PCV System category.

Replace all of your 25 year old dried up stuff from Jerry with silicone, these are just old cars that need help causing your idle issue
