1 "union" (Toyota part# 9040451026)

Reread the post,he has all the ingredients there for you. Doesn't get any easier. Unless you get Chris to do it and then all you have to do is hold the camera and the eyewash.

Is it necessary to put teflon tape on the camary union?Also should it have any threads showing or should it tighten all the way down?Thanks!

That looks like a lawn mower fuel filter. Look in the lawn and garden section of any hardware store, not in the automotive section.

good writeup

done. the only thing that was a PITA were the little 8mm bolts holding the splash guard at the top of the filler neck. On a 96, my guess is that theyve never been touched so they were rusted up pretty well. I broke 3 of 4 and had to drill them out, then i just replaced them with 10mm screws. Whatever works.

What is the advantage to locating the filter/hose vent in the gas filler area?

the very first post had the answer,which was this:
"As air expands and contracts from temperature changes within the rear differential, the breather allows the differential to "breathe". However, with the stock location of the breather, it is possible for the differential to "inhale" water in certain situations. By relocating the breather to a higher position on the vehicle, this can be prevented."

Hey Rob1,

Yes, that location does make it high and out of any water but I was thinking it may be in the way? I could see myself banging it with a gas pump nozzle. Maybe the use of something smaller than the fuel filter like a tiny orifice or the original diff breather?
