So yet another hiccup in my newbie axle removal, I don’t know how to remove the rear diff breather. I know that it is zip tied to the fuel neck thing but I have no idea how to reach the zip tie to undo it. Anyone know how to access this? A picture would be great but anything helps.

The diff vent hose is not zip-tied into place by the factory, it is held by a couple horseshoe-shaped flexible plastic clips. The hose pulls free very easily. Do you want to remove just the hose or the fitting it fits over on the axle too?

Well I was just trying to take the whole thing out and keep it connected to the axle I just heard it was zip tied in a video and didn’t want to pull and break it.

Either from beneath the left corner by removing the plastic splash guard or you can remove the filler neck bezel.
 
Thanks I was able to get it after removing the gas fill port from the bezel and moving it to expose the line with a zip tie around it.
