Anyone know a good trick to remove/replace these?

They are located under the UIM between the valve covers and under large wire harness. Recommended method is to remove the UIM and the LIM and move the wire harness. Seems to be a big PITA.

Just wondering if anyone has found any tricks?

No doubt, already removed it once to change the plugs. However, the PCV is way back there...some have said reaching it with needle nose pliers are difficult. Just looking for some input on changing that PCV.
 
If it's anything like my '99 24V I just removed the air inlet hose and most of the vacuum and electrical lines. I never removed the UIM. It was a pain though. Just wait until you have to replace the Vehicle Speed Sensor. What fun....

Yes, should be the same.

So what tool did you use to get the PCV valve out? As I understand it, you have to turn it counter-clockwise.

There is a wire harness (above) and a coolant hose (in front of) in the way.

Don't even start on the speed sensor, I had a wheel sensor on the fritz over the weekend. Luckily, it "fixed itself" and I can put off that fix for another day.
