chevyparts.com calls it a pvc tube, but it goes into the top of the breather hose and plugs into the back of the block, somewhere. Can't see it and can't get my hand in there to feel it. What do I have to pull off to put the thing back on?

I don't have a smart phone but this diagram is close but not it.. I'll try to find the site I was on and copy that diagram and paste if I can. Thanks for getting back with me.

Hey Danny, it's number 12. I'm thinking I'll have to pull the battery and breather tray just to get my hands back behind the block to feel around for the hole. One thing I might add, the bends in this diagram aren't exact but the tube is a little flexible but I don't want to break it by tweaking it too much.

Hello, Danny again.

If you can provide your VIN number I get access to a better schematic. I've attached 2 pictures below that I found and blew it up larger. It should just be a pull off/press on connection with no type of locking coupler. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
