Crankcase Bleed Valve 1985 25 Yam

[brian s]

Has anyone ever replaced the crankcase bleed valve? How is it fixed into the block? I've tried yanking it out with a linemans pliers, but no luck. I am thinking about putting a propane flame onto the block to see if that will losen it up. I would leave it there, but it does not work, air gets by both ways.

Thanks!!

Yes you can apply a small amount of heat to get it out.
