I am going to have to pull whats left out of the axle and basically run a hole new piece of hose. Is this going to be a difficult job or should it be pretty easy. thanks in advance for the help   Carter Simcoe (Carter) Senior Member Username: Carter Post Number: 671 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 11:57 am:    just get a compresion fitting and some brake hose and attach it to what is left of the stock breather. Thats how I extended mine. It will be an easy fix.   Paul Clawson (Pnut) Member Username: Pnut Post Number: 71 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 12:05 pm:    do you know what size compression fitting(if applicable) and what size hose I would need or is all brake hose the same size? thanks for the input!   Paul T.

You might want to use a right-angle fitting to keep the profile lower. I use semi-truck air brake line for my breathers.
