I've never messed with my PCV valve - not sure how you would even know
that it needs replacing. Does the computer throw a code or something?

Is there enough hose before the bend so you could cut maybe 1/2" from
the end of the hose (the hardened part) so you have a fresh (soft)
section to connect to the valve?

One suggestion - make the 90-bend with a short piece of metal pipe
(something from the plumbing section of home despot or similar). Then
all you need is a short length of straight tube.
