    so recently I blew an axle seal, I replaced it and the same day the other side went. So I checked my diff breather to find it unplugged at the bottom of the front diff..... I'm assuming it's plugged and causing my seals to blow. It's hard to access it on top of diff. Can I blow it out or does it only go one way

    Alberta Canada. Can you remove the breather from the diff housing?

    I don't know for the front diff but the rear diff yes it's a 16 mm socket if I'm correct. I'm pretty sure it's the same on the front diff. When I took it out it was all rusty so I bought another one from the dealer, I think it was about 30$.

    Hope it's useful fellow canadian!
