Title: Axle Breathers
Post by: chizy on July 31, 2008, 23:25:49

Have had a good look around underneath mine (cheers Keano for the use of the four poster) and found the breather hoses to be holed,melted,perished etc and the  breathers themselves look worse.

Who does complete breather kits for both axles?

Any recommendations?

Cheers

or go to an aquatics store, get tubing ( cant remember exactly what size, and the fit! you then can choose how long or short to have them and can route them where you want to! :D

Fit clear tubing to the axles so you can check it's clear easily.  If you fit black tube to the gearboxs you'll find it more temp. stable in the engine bay.

That said the LR axle fitting is a weak point of the system, I'm upgrading the fittings as I get time.

You think that where the water gets in, the actual fitting the breather attaches to on top of the axle?

The reason I ask is because I've been wondering how water has been getting into my axles even though I've fitted extended breathers, I used some black tubing but when I check them a while later they have muddy water in them.
