Can you check the rear axle breather and compare it with the pictures of mine? Trying to figure out if the vent tube is bent or not and if it is what the part number for it is. Thanks

Here is the vent/bolt removed
I think yours is aftermarket. The original for the HJ75 is out of production but you could use a HZJ75 breather union
This one of the few pics I could find, it appears to be the same as the last of the 40 series as well.
And this is the HZJ75 union

Those won’t work, if you look closely you can see that the breather bolt thing holds down the brake line T fitting. Actually, the first picture probably is the right one, maybe. The second one wouldn’t work without re-doing the brake lines on the axle.
My HZJ75 appears to have 2 threaded holes in the axle housing. 1 for the tab that securView attachment 2035165es the brake line and another for the breather.
That is the part and number for an Australian spec 86 ARL HJ75. It was used on every 4* 55 and 7* series from 1980 to 12/89, except the MWB.
And this is the one used in BJ70 73/74 AND 6* series.
And it appears to be still available. The one below was off a FJ62 US model.

The last one is too short by the looks of it. Thanks for the info. If I can’t find a new one I will just re use the bent one.
Silly question, but does the existing one still vent?

Yes, well the cap doesn’t seem to. Will replace the cap at the very least.
