Solution
To fit a breather tube to the gearbox one must:
•
Pull off the rubber valve with a hook made of coat hanger wire,
•
Thread the breather tube pipe down inside a piece of metal pipe about 40cm long. This pipe needs to have an
inside diameter just a bit bigger than the breather tube so the breather tube will slide up and down in the metal tube. I
used a piece of old TV ariel tube.
•
Leave about 25mm of the breather tube sticking out of the bottom of the metal pipe and then use the metal pipe
to push the new breather pipe over the existing breather tube from the gearbox.
•
Then side off the metal pipe and tie the breather tube to the chassis.
Rear Diff Breather Tube Location
The rear diff location is simple and can be seen clearly by looking under the back of the vehicle.
Front Diff Breather Tube Location
This is hidden under the air filter box. Check which pipe it is by tracing up from the front diff.
