I am dong the axle vent mod. The valve has been soaking in WD 40 for a few days in anticipation of removing it. Well, today I tried to remove it and it wouldn't budge and then the bolt started to round off. I can remove it for sure if I wanted to (vise grips), but what if it breaks which looks like where this is heading? I've already blown a pinion seal so I really want to do this but not at the cost of a broken valve. Has anyone snapped it off and what did you do?

pop the rattle cap off it and slide a hose on it done.

I've been saying this for years and no one seems to believe it is that simple.

I added a small hose clamp to keep it in place and a filter on the other end of the hose. Routed up behind my passenger tail light and zip tied it into place, took about 10 min.
