Re: Valve cover vent valve
you have teh right plan. get a grip and yank. There is no part that can come off and fall in it is a solid piece of plastic into a rubber gromet. besides the 4.0 is so bullet proof you can probably drop metal ball bearings in there and teh rocker arms wouldnt even notice.
Re: Valve cover vent valve
Thanks for the reply. That's pretty much what everybody's told me, you should be able to just pop the old one out. Problem is the plastic is so old it just cracks apart when you pull on it. Now the whole neck has broken off. It's gotten down to some parts I can get a hold of with vise grips now, but no matter how hard I pull, that thing just won't come past the grommet. I think I'm gonna end up taking it out piece by piece. Not having fun here.
Re: Valve cover vent valve
I think I found the problem. My Jeep is a '95, and the replacement part I ordered is for a '95, but the part they put on the '91-93's actually screws on from underneath. I'm thinking this has got to have one of those on there, or else it would have popped out. And I'm pretty sure this is true, because the original part is black, but the replacement I got is gray, and the website shows the 91-93 part in black. So the valve cover is going to have to come off in order to replace it. Gotta love it!
