Axle Breathers
« on: March 09, 2008, 16:37:38 »
Well ive got a bit of a problem...

Ive been rebuilding the rear axle on my truck and as I tried to remove the axle breather it snapped off, leaving a threaded stub in the axle....

Ive got some screw removers but they wont shift it as the brass just seems to break away... Whats the best way to get the damn thing out??

Thanks in advance

Joe

If you have it in peices then get nasty, the brass will continue to crumble, chip the remains of the screw away to leave the thread.
