    Hi, if you mean the PCV ( positive crankcase ventalation ) pipes, they are at the front of the engine underneath the inlet manifold. They are a bit trickey to get at, but can be removed by pliers or small hands.

    We replaced these on my sons 99t focus a few weeks ago. took about 10 minutes.

    Its best to replace the valve at the same time. Both cost about total of £13 from Fords. John
