Rear Differential Breather
My 02 Xterra with C200B rear differential came with breather extension. As per the pic below, the fitting snapped off just beneath the tube clamp. Does anyone know what size fitting I need to get to replace it? I can't seem to find any information about size and thread in the factory service manual or on google searches.

Re: Rear Differential Breather
Thanks for the part#. Much appreciated. Now I can go to the dealership and order one on Monday morning.
How/where did you find the part #? I feel bad having to bother people on the forum for info I should be able to find myself if I knew the best sources to search.
Thanks again!

Re: Rear Differential Breather
Milton had one in stock when I went to get it. Must be common enough problem.
I wonder if the hose was still good on the trailer...Bender added a long one on it years ago

Re: Rear Differential Breather
I don't remember there being a hose, but it was rusted and in pretty bad shape. I was worried it was rusted in but came out easilly.

Re: Rear Differential Breather
The older hardbody pickups used the breather with the barb connected to a hose. At some point Nissan changed to a wobble breather like on a pressure cooker. They don't do anything to keep the water out.
We keep them in stock. They are both identical thread. It's a pipe thread, so if your local dealer doesn't have one, you might be able to make something work.

Re: Rear Differential Breather
If it's a pipe thread then any brass hose barb from home depot ought to work I'd think. Just match the thread and the hose ID.

Re: Rear Differential Breather
I tried to make a pipe thread one work but it is some weird style. The thread was the same as npt I think but the taper was different so it would not sit flush.

Re: Rear Differential Breather
It was probably a BSPT thread then. If so, you need something like this: http://www.mcmaster.com/#4860k141/=12xfgxq to adapt it to NPT then you could get whatever NPT fitting you wanted.Adam wrote:I tried to make a pipe thread one work but it is some weird style.

Re: Rear Differential Breather
I remember reading somewhere that the diff breather fitting WAS a funny taper, and what you needed to get to replace it. Don't remember where. Perhaps the dreaded *gulp* clubxterra.org... Maybe Xterranation, which would be much more betterer

Re: Rear Differential Breather
The Nissan part is readily available from the dealer and cheap. Just order it and pick it up the next day.
