How do you change a PCV valve???? FJ60

[TBONED]

Once again I need help!!! I have a 1987 FJ60. I had it sitting in storage for years and now "ROXY" is back on the road. Problem is I need to change the PCV valve. ( it looked like oil was seeping/leaking) horrible gas mileage, blowing smoke and other abnormalities. UGH. I took the old one out with pliers and now I can't put the new one in. the old part number(original) was 12204-51012. if I cross reference this with a after market it gives me a part for a 1988 LC. The one that's supposed to fit #PCV1152DL doesn't fit. Its metal on metal pipe coming from the engine(?) Do I hammer it in. Grease it?? I looked everywhere on the forum. PLEASE HELP. THANX. TBONE

should fit right into the pcv grommet

i cleaned the old one and put it back in until i can figure it out. I'm guessing if you clean the old one and use it for a while it should be ok. I just drove it for 10 minutes and didn't see any oil leaking like it was this morning. There was a tube that crossed at a "T" that was completely gummed up. i change the hose and it went to the bottom of the air cleaner (?). hopefully this is a good patch.

Buy a new Valve and a new grommet from the dealer. They are far superior to any aftermarket and cheap. They will push in when supple.

Yep, did the same. I had to melt my old grommet out with a torch when I had my side cover off. It was stuck in there good. New one popped right in!
