Walter v-drive breather cap seized.

Anyone else have this problem? If so what did you do?

I have the black drive in a '99.

Never have attached a photo from my cell before hopefully this works.

The cap itself is not removable but the whole cap assembly is. Just below the cap there are two flats that a open end combination wrench will fit . Its either a 3/4, 7/8, or 15/16. I can't remember exactly. When removed if will have 1/4" pipe thread on the bottom just like the pic. I remove to suck/ fill my oil. It was TIGHT Upon first removal.

Yeah it is very tight for me.
I bought some penetrating oil and chipped off all the paint around the threads. Going to get a new vise grip and snap that on just a above the threads and maybe tap the elbow to create some vibration and give it a turn. If that doesn't work to get it out I might just have to get that entire elbow and a new breather and snap it off and just remove the elbow.
