hey guys
got a jimny and went to try and fit some diff breathers last night. there is a cap over the breather. I was wondering how i do this, like do i have to pop that cap off, does it come off? do i have to get the hose over it and seal it somehow? i thank you in advance for the advice. i can provide pictures, but im sure you all know what i mean

Yeah pop the cap off. A small spring will also come out with it.
I used a long handled screw driver and bumped it off from underneath with a hammer.

x2 on flat head screw driver will come straight off then you just slide the hose over with a clamp over the nipple and happy days

with the cap, if you spin it around you will see a lil inprint of a dot, stick your flat head screw driver under it and then pop, it works better that way
There should be 2 of them on the one cap jjust spin it around

thanks guys...
i initially bought a "diff breather kit" from this 4x4 shop which was very thin, like the stuff you use for your garden dripper system. so i went today and bought some good garden hose and those oil breathers from supercheap. should go on soon!

mate i used quality 1/2 inch fuel line on my sierra and some little 10 dollar ryco inline fuel filters, and some hose clamps cost bugger all and the lines are prob overkill but atleast they wont fall apart
