Had same problem with 2005.....Had to use visegrips on pcv and pull up with large screwdriver or crowbar...use lots of wd40.There is a rubber sleeve which should pull up with pcvvalve.If not pull it out.The new one comes with a rubber sleeve.

^^^
what he said. Worst case scenario, pull the rear valve cover off.safest way to do it.

If you break it off and it drops inside the engine... you know the consquence...
