axle breather fitting size
« on: Jan 16, 2006, 06:12:44 PM »
the title pretty much says it all.  i am going to extend my axle breather and i was wondering what size the fitting is.  i tried looking through my chiltons but it never has the kinda of things i am looking for.

Just pop the little loose cap off and hook a hose to it, no reason to remove the whole thing and replace it, plus it is already flared and ready for the mod.

well i guess that sounds better than replacing the whole thing.  time to go out and get the supplies.
