Hey guys, having a noob day

Ive done the rebuild on my wt case, right up to putting the last housing on. I dont want to fit it until i have fitted a right-angle threaded barb to the case for a breather hose.

My question is, does the "nipple" that is on these cases pop out at all? Looking from the inside it looks like it should, but i dont want to hack at it unless i know for sure.

Or do people just drill the hole out a bit and tap it from there?

Cheers all


By the way, im not talking about the breather cap

Once you pull off the cap and the spring underneath it there is a small aluminium piece with the lip on it pulls out completely. It is a sort of force fit in the casing. After that is removed you can tap directly into the case.

sweeet, cheers mate. Ill attack it with a pair of vice grips in the morning.

why not knock it out from the inside with simmilar sized piece of metal?

[mrw82]

because there is a deflector/casting in the way on the inside of the case. you don't have clear access to it.

what he said.
it stops the oil flicking up into the breather. was easy to remove with vicegrips, it gripped the soft metal well. i just wanted confirmation it actually came out, cos it practically destroyed it.
