67 Swedish Convertible Dec 26th, 08, 09:47 AM I see myself as being a fairly "mechanical guy"...But what's this? (OK..I know its a rear axle but what is that "nipple thing" with the rubber cap?) http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b16/Cabben/Ragtop%20resto/ATT00019.jpg SPARKY69 Dec 26th, 08, 09:48 AM Vent tube..im guessing i cant pull up the picture?????? Dang it........ cpodeep Dec 26th, 08, 09:59 AM Bill, You are correct! Scott SPARKY69 Dec 26th, 08, 10:03 AM Sweet........ 67 Swedish Convertible Dec 26th, 08, 10:13 AM ...and all I should do now is leave it "as is"??..:o SPARKY69 Dec 26th, 08, 10:15 AM just spin the liltle cap with your fingers to make sure its not stuck....the rear end vents from there.. Fred Ficarra Dec 26th, 08, 11:44 AM The one on my rear is like new. Oh hell, so's the rear.;) Kokamo Dec 26th, 08, 12:58 PM Yeppers, it's a vent tube. The top part should be loose and wiggle around, but not loose enough to pull off. Go ahead and pull it out, get after if with some brake clean or solvent and air it out with some compressed air. If the vent is clogged, it will make oil leak in places you don't want. Joe 67 Swedish Convertible Dec 26th, 08, 03:38 PM I could see from the dirt around the cap that oil/grease has been coming out out of there. Will clean after blasting and painting. Did not know what it was as I haven't seen it before. Thanks guys for the info. Much appreceated.:thumbsup: | ||
