PCV valve is a PITA. Seems like most folks use a vise grip and some means of leveraging it upward out of the valve cover. I personally removed the valve cover (since I was doing valve cover gaskets as well), clamped onto the PCV valve nipple with a vise grip, and then pulled like crazy while sort of standing on the valve cover with the front of both feet (one foot one each side of the valve). With much effort, it popped out... somewhat violently. If you go the vise grip route, just be careful as the nipple on my valve nearly tore off of the PCV valve body in the process... maybe I clamped too low on the nipple?
