Well, I suppose I'd rather have a small chance of a puddle of fluid over a certainty of blown seals later on. Thanks for the picture. I thought it was just tubing with a filter at the end, but I see you added more tubing which seems like it would be better. By the way, what's the name of your pet spider there?

54warrior you have some pest control problems, they seem to be all over your truck.

due to the vacuum I just found in my axle after removing the cap off the vent, I will be doing this mod and keeping the old vent in the glove box. That way, any problems that require an unplanned visit to the dealership I can quickly put the vent back on and hide the hose. That will make it easy for everyone.

Now this is funny, here are some Toyota guys using a Nissan part for there breather mod. http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/minutemods/breather/

I found this Nissan part number on another Titan site.... Nissan part # 38323-C601A

well it is done, and it was easy with the instructions provided by the OP.

I did add a screen on a piece of hose before the filter to eliminate any bugs plugging the line. Overkill, I know, but I had the screen already.

I just got my 06 Frontier out of the shop for 2 leaking rear seals. They also told me that the only way to get the bearings off was to cut them off and also charged me $60 each for new bearings. Anyone heard of this? They said it is common on the Titan. I asked for them to produce the bearings and they said they were in the bottom of the dumpster and could not find them. This seems unusual since I was in the shop 3 hours after the truck was dropped off. This post makes sense as I was wondering how both seals happen to go at the same time. Any thoughts on changing the bearings is appreciated. Anyone know if this fix (toyata fitting) works on the frontier?

I know this forum is a little dated now, but I just found it and completed the axle modification today. I was able to use some 1/8" ID tygon tubing from my model airplane days. I took the OEM check valve deal off the axle tube, and removed the metal cap and check valve. Then using some good ole oil and a lot of twisting I was able to pull the tygon through the hole in the fitting which created a very tight seal when complete. I screwed this back into the axle and ran the tygon to a safe place.

Total cost: $0.
