Very rarely do they ever fail unless the vehicle has been really poorly maintained. Best time to do it is when the upper plenum is off, as when replacing the spark plugs or perhaps installing a plenum spacer. It can be done without taking off the upper plenum, but, as you already noticed, it's pretty tight. Here's a link that fives a tutorial on how to replace the PCV on a 2nd Gen Frontier VQ40DE, which will be the same for your Pathfinder:

Maintained really well , but after 260,000 miles they recommended changing the pcv valve at the dealer ..
