Drivers side is not easy. Passenger side requires removing the neck for the windshield washer bottle. Do you have the owners manual? We have an 06 XC70 and the info on how to change it was in there.

The fuel manifold is the shiny straight tube in the center of xheart's photo. The fuel bleed valve is in the tiny blue cap on the right end of the manifold. The manifold may have plastic cover (Item 4). But you should not need to remove this cover.

In that case it’s very likely that the diaphragm is all coked up and not controlling the PCV vacuum any more. If that’s the case then a new box will be in order. If, on the oth...

Remove it and keep the shaft from getting solvent into the electronics. I wet a cloth with solvent and sponge the residue off carefully.

The diaphragm part comes integral to the box. You can see it in the parts house photos. I just opened up my old one out of curiosity and then took a picture of it.
