Bought a new PCV valve and fuel filter this weekend to change for some maintenance. Does anyone have any good ideas for how to change these out given that they are in bad locations. I have a 96 s/c 351w 4x4 ORP. The pcv is behind the intake plenum and the fuel filter is in between the gas tank and the frame rail. not easy access at all. Any thoughts on how to get these done? thanks again for all the help. You guys rock!!!

 

Mine's a 4.9L but sounds like your PCV is just as hard as mine, well not really, mine's at the back on the valve cover but it just pop's out, I had to feel for it but it was purdy simple.

The fuel filter is the same as me, drivers side right behind cab tucked in the frame rail, I took off the bracket by unbolting the nut's on the frame, popped it out and used the cheapy fuel filter remover tools from napa for a few bucks and it just pop's right out.
Make sure to release the pressure from the fuel line's first.

 

Just watch out for the vacuum lines near the PCV. They get pretty brittle back there.

Also, buy the tool to get the fuel filter out.

 

I loosened up the bolts that hold the fuel tank in place. It helped give me a little more room to get my hands on the fuel filter.
