Well, I tackled this little feat today, and though I would do a write-up with photos for those that are about to do the same thing. I would appreciate it if a moderator or staff member could make this a sticky for future reference! :teethmast
Anyhow - here we go!
You will need:
Wet cloth
Two hands
About 10 minutes of your time
Compressed air (optional and recommended)
Safety glasses (optional and recommended)
Machanics gloves (optional and recommended)
1. Locate the VCV Assy. It is located just above your rear axle, connected to your evaporative emission control (charcoal) canister on the drivers side of the vehicle.

2. Unhook the hose from VCV Assy., then unhook the hose from the upper frame mount and remove the hose completely. You will most likely notice dust and debris in both the hose and your VCV Assy.

3. Next, firmly twist VCV Assy. approximately 45 degrees counter clockwise, and pull from the canister. It may appear stuck, as the o-ring has set a seal inside of the canister.
4. Now, unhook the electrical connector from the VCV Assy. by firmly pulling while squeezing the electrical connector tab open. This may be harder than normal if you have a lot of dirt or debris built up in this area.

5. Now, locate your new VCV Assy. (Nissan Part # 14935-AM60B) and remove it from its package. Get your damp rag and moisten the o-ring and the orifice of the canister, making sure both connections are clean and free of debris.

6. Plug your new VCV Assy. into its electrical connector, then insert your new VCV Assy. into the canister the same way the old one was removed, by firmly pushing it in the orifice at a 45 degree angle and twisting clockwise until it is locked into place.

7. Now take your compressed air and blow through the breather hose you removed earlier. Also blow out the frame connection in order to blow out loose dust and debris which could be sucked into your new VCV Assy.
8. Once again, take your damp rag and clean the connections on the frame and VCV Assy. and plug the breather hose in the same way it was routed before removal.
