Re: Axle vent issue and solution

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?

Re: Axle vent issue and solution

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.

Re: Axle vent issue and solution

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.

Re: Axle vent issue and solution

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?

Re: Axle vent issue and solution

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.

I recently replaced the LR seal on my Titan. While having shop equipment to do it, the comments are pretty much spot on. Actually, the biggest pain is the parking brake shoes once you have your head around the bearing and seal issue!

To remove the bearing first you need to:

1. Drill a hole in the bearing spacer under it, next to the C-clip. Start with a 1/8 and move up as large as you can. Then split this collar off with a chisel and it slides right of the shaft.

2. Position the retaining plate with the studs in it over the jaws of the vise and with a nut on them, drive the studs out with a hammer.

3. With that out of the way you can now use a clam shell spreader under the bearing and proceed to press the bearing off the axle.

Replacement is pretty much the same, new seal, press on bearing, press on spacer, C-clips, draw studs back into plate with a nut and sleeve, replace all the happy crap onto truck and wrestle with p-brake parts.

Min parts needed per side: 1 seal, 1 bearing, 1 spacer

Re: Axle vent issue and solution

okay i have already had a seal go out on the passenger side .. this was right after doing a rear diff fluid change ....

so its about that time to do it again and i see around my vent that there is alot of seepage and wet area around it .. the greace was caked on the vent i turned it and it seemed fine but im wondering how much fluid i actually have in the diff with all the wetness around the vent .... ..

so my question is this .. does it seem i need to do the vent mod . if so do i do it before or after changing the fluid or does it not matter ...

thanks for any help here are some pics ... i also included a pic of the lower part of the diff itself since there is some wetness at the bottom as well.. do i need to replace the gasket on it ? or will doing the vent mod fix the seeping from the diff as well ....

i know i saw some people having problems with the mod like it was leaking from behind the tail light but i only saw it was people with the larger capasity diff covers . has anyone had any luck with the aftermarket diff cover and the vent mod combined .


oh and my wife decided to draw a happy face on the diff pic ...lol
