Default How to replace the rear axle breather hose

I noticed this morning that my rear axle breather hose felt down.

I can't find where this hose was fixed under the Jeep! One of the end is plugged in the rear axle, but it's about the other end

It was attached to the inside of the passengerside fenderwell. There is a little hole that a clamp slides in. On mine the clamp was Taped with black electrical tapeto the hose. Put a ziptie on it through that hole or re-route it with longer hose up higher. It's probably hard to find if you still have the rear fender liner in , mines out in lew of flat flares.Look to the rear of the pass fender wheelwell.

You should take this time and just extend them instead of replacing them in the same spots the rear one goes up by the taillight if your gonna extend it

Is it the good position? The taillight? You mean that the hose has to go upper?

I ziptied mine, the clamps on the body fell/ ripped off. On your pic where that plug / black screw is in the body is where I ziptied mine on the inside of the fenderwell
