that's not the question that was asked. the instruction given for removing the baffle on the '03-'04 models indicated that the entire pipe should be removed ("wrap with tape and twist") but that would leave nothing to attach the hose to. on the earlier years the baffle can be removed from the top without damaging the pipe, but that's not the case on the later models.
Yes, I know, I removed the baffle in my 04, and of course the tube has to stay, or be put back if removed.
I can do a vid if needed, but try this first. On an 03, find the hose coming out of the passenger side valve cover. Remove the hose. Grab the top of the tube left sticking out of the valve cover with a pair of pliers, might need vise grips. Twist it back and forth, slowly wiggling it out of the valve cover. Once it is out, cut the top of the tube off, the solid part with the small hole in it. I use a small tubing cutter, but you can also you a hacksaw if you take your time. Once the top is cut off, drill out the plastic part in hte center. Once that is done, you need to tap the tube back in to the valve cover. I use a socket that fits tightly over the tube. Once the tube is in place, then just put the hose back on. The other end of the hose slides over a connector fitting in the front of the intake manifold. Unscrew that fitting and screw in the new PCV valve. Connect the hose there.
