After having my rear axle seals
blow due to a clogged differential breather on the rear axle, I decided it
was time to move the breather to a different location. I started off by
removing the spare tire from underneath the truck to give me more room. No
need to jack up the rig. I removed the factory breather which just took
something like a 14mm socket. Man was that thing clogged with mud! Then I
installed the new breather onto the axle. After that I fitted the hose onto
the breather and tightened the clamp. Next I ran the line up over the frame
and into the wheel well. In order to access the fuel filler area I had to
remove the black plastic cover under the wheel well. That is done by
carefully popping out the 4 or so rivets that hold it in place. It was a
little tricky but I managed to do it. You will need to pry the little wings
on the clips so that it fits through the hole. Then that will give you
access to the filler neck area. I just wire tied the end up side down so
that water could not leak into the tube. I capped it off using the new
filter and clamping it down. I used all Toyota parts, which are part N
90404-51319 for the breather plug and part 90930-03136 for the filter. Both
had to be special ordered from Toyota. Took a few days to get a hold of
them.
