Yeah, I've had cars where this is basically a no-tools job as well.
The Metro required 2 screws to be removed to pull the valve, and of course they were seized, having probably never been removed in 18 years. So that required an additional tool. Also, it's buried beneath the air cleaner housing -- I had to remove that too.
Still, only a 10-15 minute job, not counting the cleaning process.
