PCV Valve

[ford212.809]

Can someone tell me if I can replace the PCV valve without performing major surgery. I replaced the spark plugs today (very difficult) and wanted to replace the PCV. I know it is supposed to be located on the back of the left valve cover but I cannot even put my hand on it. Very frustrating.......

Next to the manifold near the firewall....It is cheap and easy to replace.

I found a pic on net that shows it on a '97. Look in your repair manual for your location on your model. I found mine on my '02 and looks easy to replace...
