Right. I have the drivers side one off too. Each side has a spring but the one on the drivers side is about twice the length, probably why it was quite hard to get off. As you move the gearstick side to side one side gets shut off and one side breathes, so depending on what gear you are in will use a different side breather. Im going to get some 25mm tube to run them into the engine bay. Will have to find something big to filter the end... dunno if a fuel filter will come that big as have been using them on everything else. Hopefully it all works out and no oil blows out the breathers. Oil is milky just inside so def water been getting in so cant go backwards from that!

What sort of tubing have you used btw? I have used bunning clear plastic tubing for my breathers so far, its cheap, but its not the strongest or heat resistant... I expect they will have it in a 25mm or near enough size

hi I want to do the gearbox and transfer case breathers to engine bay fitting Does 10mm fuel hose fit over the existing caps once they are removed
Cheers Peter
