Isn't the gearbox even harder to reach?

Not done mine yet... must have a look see...

Edit 18/12/14

Just had a look underneath and could see the breather peeping out into the transmission tunnel, so I pulled the breather pipe's cap off it and measured it to gauge the internal diameter, and have ordered a reducer to fit into it to take the 6mm pipe that comes with Martin's excellent breather kit... I'll update my own build blog / thread when it arrives and I get it done B)

I used this site tooooo.

Did mine on the floor in the front garden with hose pipe, jubilee clips and cable ties, no real problems, though I have a body lift fitted which I imagine makes it a bit easier to reach the top of the gearbox and transfer case?

No toilet roll tubes or double sided sticky tape though!!! Showing my age with edit :)

Check out the article link for some of the diameters:

Diffs are 1/2"
T-box is 1/4" and 3/8" (appears to have two breathers)
G-box - no idea it does not say :unsure:
