Message	I have all the right parts listed in the FAQ, an 11 inch bent-nose needle nose pliers, and the hacksaw blade (all recommened odd tools). I've looked at the left side PCV today, and it seems like it'll be a pain to get out. Should I cut the tube attached to the PCV valve in half, and then remove it? The FAQ says only to cut the one on the driver side. Stupid question, but I want to make sure I do this right. Is this right: Don't torque anything into the plenum more than 15lbs? All I need is the one set of long bent nose pliers? I'm looking for any tip/tricks/hints you guys have come up with on your own. I've searched Technical and didn't find much. Thanks. Rob
