Front Drive Shaft Update

[Dokatd]

Anyone on the east coast have a stock front shaft we can borrow and return untouched? PM me if you have one handy. I'm having trouble getting time to remove mine for mock up.

I have mine front shaft free to borrow, But I'm in California.

Not sure shipping works out for that. But let's keep that option on the table.

Here are my stock breathers. I replaced them with raised breathers almost 2yrs ago.

The silver cap is spongy like there is a spring holding it up. It is crimped in 3-4 places retaining it on the breather body.

Inside the bottom of the breather you see what looks like a valve stem complete with a rubber seal. The stem doesn’t move when you bounce the silver cap, but you can push it open with a pick by pushing outward toward the cap. It springs back closed, but with very little resistance. Below are a few photos to give you the best a views possible.

I cannot see any way to remove rubber and fix the breather.

Thanks @Tom109. Good pics.
That accords with the section schematic I posted. The spring sits between the cap and the valve which acts as a piston. The spring is calibrated to 0.5bar. The cap crimps would need to be removed to take off the cap and valve to get to the seal. Not a difficult job.
Is there a brand or markings visible on the cap?
