Rear-end vent?

[Bentley]

Tapping? As I understood from other posts here, it should be pressed, isn't it?

He was talking about tapping one of your axle tubes and installing a vent there... Ford 9" come that way....

The plastic vent is pushed in to install and is not threaded.

Correct, I've changed the flimsy plastic vent for a metal one when I was doing a full rebuild of the rear end.

I am sorry, I know it's childish, but I did have a laugh when I read the title of this thread.

Found it.
Of course all the gunk fall inside. I need to drain the diff and replace fluids

Are they the same size? Will it fit pressing it to the hole instead of the plastic one?
Do you have a link?

If you're positive there's no venting at all, you can drill and tap the top of one tubes and install one there.

HORRIBLE idea unless you're rebuilding the rear. Metal shavings do not work well in a rear end.

We'll, you're right....I should have placed a warning like 'do not attempt drying any living forms in the microwave'
But I assumed he understood that.
