I'm trying to replace the breather box on this vehicle due to the squealing noise coming from the engine.

It appears fairly straightforward to replace, however two of the screws are blocked by the hose coming from the air filter. It is a hard plastic hose which comes from the air filter and extends over the breather box and terminates between the engine block and the firewall.

Two of the screws are blocked and I'm not sure how to remove that hose since I cannot see where it terminates behind the block.

Any thoughts? I have been unable to find anything on YouTube

 

I’d also like to know if anyone has advice on this. My PCV needs replacing as well. If I figure it out when I start the repair I’ll let y’all know what I find.

 

I just cleaned up couple months ago. Need a flexible adapter. The screws are not very tight, actually loosely sit there. Very easy to remove all screws around and 2 bolts in the middle. Then slightly pull toward passenger side and lift up the cover.
