Re: Rear End Vent.
I drilled the top of the axle housing, not the torque tube and used an air hose to blow away chips as I was drilling. This is where Ford vented their cars when they went to open drive shafts.

I then installed a vent on the axle tube. No more leaks.

Re: Rear End Vent.
When drilling holes and you want to control the chips use grease on the drill bit !

Re: Rear End Vent.
Yes sir, that is exactly what I did. A big ol' glob of grease. Greased up the tap also. Then I stuck a magnet thru the hole to check.

Re: Rear End Vent.
I think venting the axle tube is the way to go. Can I tap it and put in a barber fitting?

Re: Rear End Vent.
I drilled a small hole in top banjo bolt. It leaked like a sieve. Top vent in axle has worked well.
