I'll take the liberty of adding a little something to underline the
importance of Linus's advice about the "challenge: part:

His comment about removing the _next_ clamp --on the other side of
the valve--should be taken to imply that you will be pre-inserting
(and clamping) that valve into your new breather hose _before_ it
gets installed. Forgive me if that seems obvious, but it's easy in
the heat of battle to forget that the objective is to avoid  having
to do that difficult insertion (around the "lip" that Linus
mentioned) after the hose/T has been put in its rather inaccessible
location under the throttle body.
