rear axle vent tube

Being original it's hard as a rock and won't come off the bolt that goes into the axletube without destroying it.:explosion

I thought about twisting it counterclockwise and hoping I get the number right when it's tightened to not be twisted at all, but it would be easier to replace it.

So, I was wondering if there is another slip on barb fitting on the 'chassis' where it goes up by the firewall (or is it one long tube and once I cut it I'm on my own for a new routing solution), or if I should run some new hose up through a rust hole in the floor and behind a plastic interior panel, or what?

Any help or suggestions appreciated.atriot:

Just run new to where ever you want. I know Haleyes ran his into the fuel fill door area. JIM.

Just replace it, it's just a piece of rubber hose. Just get a piece of hose and make it longer and mount it up higher but do not forget to leave enough slack at the bottom for full drop situations.

X3, just replace it. I know some people who have run it as far as the firewall next to the front diff's vent tube, but really you can run it to anywhere that will stay dry.

I ran mine to behind the fuel door. Good piece of mind for water crossings. However, I always have a oil slick around the fuel door now. Adds character!

I ran mine up into the crossmember with the rear shock mounts after breaking it off. One day I will run it up into one of the pillars.

I ran mine up along the fuel lines and mounted it right beside the front diff breather line... Save the diff, water kills bearings...

the line pulled off the nub on the framerail just fine. Where does it go from the frame? Just to the inside of the 'frame'rail?
