If you’re going to do anything more than light off-roading in your Hilux, then one of the most essential upgrades is a Diff Breather. Sure, you can stick with the factory-fitted one if all you’re going to do is roll along the tarmac. But hey… What’s the fun in that?
If you’ve invested in a Hilux, then you want to use her to the utmost. In this video, Travis shows you how to carry out this simple upgrade on your driveway – and you’ll barely need any specialist tools to do it…
Travis runs through what’s in the kit, before heading into a step-by-step installation guide – complete with video footage. Being able to see what he’s doing makes it so easy to follow. Plus, he also provides some expert tips to make the process even smoother. These include keeping the O-ring on the bowl when servicing to avoid issues with air suction and the importance of having spare filters for ongoing maintenance.
He runs through how to disassemble the old filter, install the new one and then shows you how to mount the fuel head, reconnect the hoses and prime the system. Once complete, the last step is to check all the connections are sound and carry out a final prime before starting her up. You’re then pretty much all done – all that’s left to do is to wash and road test to check everything is running as expected.
