All mine is is a piece of hose clamped on a bung, measure that and just get a piece of hose and a clamp.

also make sure to clean out that bung before connecting the hose so it is worthwhile and not blowing seals

A dealer isn't going to help... I wouldn't waste their time anyway.

Do you have a piece of tubing sticking out of the axle or do you just have a hole with threads inside???

You can get it at the dealer. It's some funky thread I think.

If you can wait about 2 weeks, I will be home and I have a brand new one I bought a few years ago and never used.

I just welded it up and thread a 1/2" NPT hole higher in the tube since the pinion is up pretty high on my axle.

Ok. Let me know if you can't get one... I can mail you the one I have... I'm never going to need it anyhow. I should be home in about 2 weeks.
