Blowing breather pipes!

satchmolips · Jun 23, 2013

With the engine out having a right good poke around. How many breather pipes should come up in the engine compartment? Presumably one for front axle, one for gearbox and one for transfer box.
Found these and one is blocked, it appears to be the transfer box one. Undid the banjo bolt and took it off the transfer and the b*gger is still blocked. Any tips to clear other than trying some compressed air down it??

On this subject where does rear axle one go??

if you follow it then it should end somewhere close to at the same height as the top of the rear wheel.

may as well replace the tubing and put some pushfit valves on.

Where would I get that size of push fit valves please??

fleabay is where I got mine, cost me about £20 to do the full lot to the top of the snork, £15 for a roll of pipe, and about a quid a peice for the fittings.
4mm tube, 4mm pushfit pnumatic fittings, 1/4"bsp thread for the fitting into the boxs/axle IIRC. a few cable ties.

et voila...
