try using a blow dryer to soften it up a bit. a dull flat screwdriver can help too. the breather hose on the front of my 90's valve cover can be a bugger when cold but the pcv on the back is always easy enough.

The older they are the more rock solid they seem to get. I just put new ones in and was amazed at the difference. I agree with lubing it though. I used some Silkolene on it and both popped right in.

Lube it up. I found the key to re-installing them is to put seperate the elbow from the grommet. Install the grommet first then put the elbow in the into the grommet. Lube them both up real good.

If it's the 93< kind you can take the actual elbow out of the grommet, put the grommet in first by working it around the hole, then put the elbow in. That's what I have to do with the dried out ones anyway. Is this the one that you put on your '90 a while back? Good luck btw!
