Front diff breather

[Woodzie]

I have just been under my surf lubricating the props and cleaning the rear diff breather. Dispite a long hard search in failing light, i failed to find the front diff breather ........... has anyone got a pic or diagran as to its location .

many thanks

Its on the top left hand side of the front diff cover, you'll probably struggle to see it if you've got a underslung air-con rad. lift up the rubber flap around the steering box and have a peer in at the diff.

Toyota Part Number...

90404 - 51319

That is a diff breather bit... Still trying to ascertain if it is of any value.... or in fact a real Toyota part number...

Isn't Google a wonderful thing...

Extended Differential Breathers

• Toyota part number 90404-51319 (actually a manifold fitting) works great and is supposed to have a larger area to attach the hose to (compared to Nissan part number 38323-C6010). These fittings were about $6 each. I used vacuum hose, hose clamps and tie wraps to relocate the stock breather. Most instructions advise you to use a small fuel filter, but the stock breather relocates well and costs nothing! The front breather is now high under the hood, and the rear breather is at the bottom of the rear floor board area (I will relocate it higher later).

Nother interesting one...

This is a very easy mod to do, and well worth it if you plan on going through any water.
Part #'s for the Toyota breather is 90404-51319. You can also use a small filter from Toyota. Part # is 90930-03136.
