Uh-oh PCV Valve replacement gone wrong

[ok89]

Well I was going to check the pcv valve and to do so i pulled the connector that attaches the 2 hoses to the top of the pcv valve off. Well it came off but it broke
Where can i buy a new connector??
Now i cant even get the PCV valve out. What can i do to make it easier?

Most times they come with the replacement PCV valve. Bring the old one to the parts store and try to match it up.

tried that. I tried showing them the piece and they said that i would have to get that part at the dealer. Oh well i guess eventually i will take it into the dealer and let them replace the pcv valve and they will think that they broke it.

They will replace it for free once you've hit 60K miles. It's in your service guide. Put it back together so it looks like nothing is wrong and go to your dealer. Be sure and look it up in your booklet first though, since you will probably have to point out the fact that they are supposed to do it for free. My dealer said no one had ever taken him up on it before so he didn't know about it.

well i have 68,x.. miles on it and i dont have the manual do you think they will do it if i download the manual off of the internet and show them?
As a side note I went to the parts department to talk with them about it and they looked it up in their computer and apperantly you can't just buy a pcv valve for the SOHC. They say that you have to buy the PCV valve already attached to the hard plastic thing and the 3 hoses. And the price of that is 34 dollars:frustrate
