    This is the rear drivers side of the car. This hose was connected to the differential. I need to replace it but cant find where it leads to since it goes into the frame. Is it difficult to replace? Any tricks i should know? Thanks

    I dont know why it rotated the images the way it did when i attached them but i circled it to make it easier to see which hose im talking about. Thanks

    Well i was able to pull it out, didnt take much force if any at all. Is it supposed to just sit in there not attached to anything?

    Exactly - it is just a vent line to prevent pressure build up inside the pumpkin as it heats up. Just gets tucked back into the frame

    Unless the hose is cracked or broke....no real need to replace it.
