Got some kit off "Ecoman" to extended the axle & transmission breathers on my 'cruiser.
The rear diff was easy, unscrew the exisiting fitting and screw in a new connector piece.
front diff - couldnt get to the factory system on top of diff as sump in the way - no room. but this factory breather is extended anyway, so I simply extended it further using some clear fuel hose, then screwed in same type of fitting i used on rear-diff into the tube and held in place with a jubilee clip.
Auto box factory breather very hard to get to. i removed end cap off it, and used some aluminium tube which i had lying around which had different O.D. diameters, one end fitted in tube on factory breather and other end in fuel hose. then extended it as per front diff.
transfer box, the factory breather is press-fitted... removed the metal cover, and pushed on 15cm fuel hose, jubilee clip, then screwed in a connector supplied by Ecoman and jubilee clipped in place.
All four breathers connect to a block in engine bay, then a single line goes up side of snorkel and looped at top.
connection block in engine bay
tube upto snorkel - bit of superglue at top and it press-fitted nicely into windscreen trim
loop at top of snorkel
transfer box breather extension pipe - fuel tube pushed onto top of factory fitting and jubilee clip (cannot see in pic) and other end has threaded connector into my fuel hose and jubilee clip
