Yes it threads into the axle, if it's locked up and you can't get it to budge a socket and breaker bar then use some pb blaster and let it soak in. Then try again they usually come off easily with a breaker bar and socket.

NIce thanks, I will replace it then, I just cut all the lines off of it when I removed it (as you can see), I will call oreiley. Do  you have a name for that thing?

 

The part is an axle vent tube.  There were 2 types.  Your pic shows the standard item, which is a taller vent that goes through the brass block of the brake hose.  On dual exhaust cars, the hose has a thin bracket on the end that bolts to the axle, annd the brass block is relocated to the front of the axle for more clearance between the exhaust and the brake lines.  The vent tube is shorter for the dual exhaust scenario.  Are you going to dual exhaust?

You will want to use the 66GT or the 69 Mustang center hose/brass block, then relocate your hard line from atop the muffler to the upper corner near the frame rail. That makes for better hose routing to clear the exhaust.  Double red arrow shows old location like yours.  Single arrow shows new location.  You can reuse your vent bolt, but will need to cut off the threaded portion and rethread is since the 69 hose has a thinner steel bracket as opposed to the original where it went through the brass block.

You already have a good axle seal puller. Simply stick the tip of the axle shaft behind the seal and gently pry the seal out. Works every time.

On the money! Used the axle shaft and it popped right out! Why did I not think about that!
 

So MS, how did you remove the old bracket? I dont see any screws, must be tacked on? Also, what did you use for a new hanger when you moved it over by the frame rail? Can I just buy a new vent bolt vs. cutting it down, where would I find that? And lets finish with the last question- do the 2 crush washes go between the head of the banjo bolt, or between the caliper and the brake line fititng?
