If you were wrenching on a tuber you could have that breather on in 5 minutes. Might take 15 with XB rocker covers on a tuber.

I made a breather mod to resolve same problem.
Bottom of the PCV valve-breather fitting is a disk. Trim away only that disk with Dremel. Clean cutting debris.
PCV valve-breather fits in or out now without rotating engine.

Take off the gasket rocker cover...Then put the gasket on breather valve. This will allow for more clearance to get the valve in...it will go this way on an XB
I did the same thing : )
The fiddly part is getting the gasket sealed onto rocker cover. But it can be done!
