2. After accomplishing step one, and hopefully you are working on a flat surface, if you're careful you can set tank down next to power assembly without removing fuel feed line from motor.
3. Next spray a tiny bit of WD 40 around the base of the breather assembly then twist & pull upward on it with pliers. Do not fret if it cracks as it is being replaced anyway:)
4. After breather assembly is out remove the breather grommet by prying the edge up a bit with a flat-head screwdriver and lift it out...this may take a bit of finagling if it is old and stiff.
5. Push in new grommet...a bit of WD 40 helps.
6. Push in new breather assembly and that's it. Engine runs a lot better when air can replace fuel as it's being used.
