It would be very helpful to post a picture of the part you are talking about.

He's talking about the crankcase breather on the valve cover. There's no special way of getting it out. If it feels like it gonna break, try to just pull up slightly on the elbow and then get something to wedge on the base of it and wiggle it out.

Carefully. My guess is the grommet for the crank case breather hose broke. You don't want little pieces of plastic falling in valve cover.
You could find a replacement at junkyard, otherwise, I believe I just read somewhere that it's a dealer only part.

Flathead screwdriver. Just like how you fix everything else in the world.

I just bought the generic Chrysler replacement for 5 bucks at oreillys
