How do I get this out of the valve cover??

I have tried to remove to replace this PVC???? but have not found a way to get it out without doing damage to the valve cover itself. Any ideas? This on a 1991 Chevy 350. Thanks.

Re: How do I get this out of the valve cover??

Those are very thick gromments, and depending how long they're installed they can become very hard. The best way to get it out would be to remove the valve cover and slice the outer part off with a razor blade. The inside portion will then fall free allowing installation of a new grommet.
