2020 Chevy Malibu PCV Removal 

That’s exactly what I seen on a video. I was gonna pin you but I had to verify my account

you may be thinking of 5/16" cause idk what car actually has a 5/8" fuel line. but even then the tool is useless if you are trying to disconnect them before they are actually broken, cause you can't get it up and inside the fitting. I ended up leaving it all connected, and unbolted the adaptor to the turbo inlet, and popping the other line out of the intake boot, and leaving it all connected to the valve cover itself, vacuum pump broke, and damage the camshaft.

Hello!!! So I got the car 35,000 miles and did the oil changes according the the computers “oil life” at the time of failure it was 87,000 miles. My oil level actually extremely low, to the point where you hear the ticking noise which was about 1-2 quarters I assume.

It was honestly preventable, I made mistakes, also I haven’t encountered such an issue with Honda or Toyota. I’m relatively new to mechanics about 4 years now, But this failure definitely brought more perspective and experience. To sum it up I thought by doing the oil changes on time I would not have an issue. I could get more into detail on what mistakes I’ve made. However, it’s clear to me that this model of vehicle needs 100% assurance the oil levels are set. And possibly even preventative maintenance of replacing the vacuum pump at first sign of failure or even replacement before signs are present.

Can you tell me a bit more about what issue your having

It’s confusing because you don’t have all the information to properly diagnose. The repairs are easy. There’s the internal pcv valve he took it off on that video

I’m having a lot of pressure out of the dipstick and oil cap I figured my piston rings where shot so I was just gonna keep up with the car until it gave up but I came across that video you pasted and he basically fixes the same issue I’m describing by replacing the pcv valves, but I was looking at mine and it seems so simple one in the front and one in the back both held down by that annoying bolt is it that simple?or is the pcv valve closest to the cab made up of two pieces one internal like the other guys video and one external piece? Or is mine completely different from his and just that external valve you see just needs to be pulled out and replaced ?

I didn’t have to take it out. There is a tool shaped like a disc almost. I had a hard time finding out what tool it was but I’ve seen it in a video.

@@justanotherskid3801what tool is that??

@@agard1100 not sure what it’s called but I thought it was special tool that wasn’t sold but definitely out there available I seen it on a RU-vid video I just never got to have to use it

No help at all! I'm putting an engine in and junkyard cut the hose on engine they gave me..I have to take it off ..can't figure how to..bolts have no head I've ever seen either wtf do you do??

@@nicktrofa2028 ohhhh bro it’s simple . Use pliers they armt that tight. Trust it was a headache for me as well. But unscrewing those bolts were simple. They aren’t that tight.

I used a plier. I would have loved to buy the tool. I broke the PCV trying to take it off

I use a star bit works perfect

5/8 fuel line disconnecter I seen someone on RU-vid use this. Someone commented this is what it was I looked it up online and it was the same thing i seen on that video
