It is an authentic replacement part that is supplied directly from the original equipment manufacturer for use with Shindaiwa handheld trimmers and brush cutters. This is the breather grommet which allows air into the fuel tank, over time the part may begin to deteriorate and crack eventually requiring replacement to maintain the proper seal. It is a high-quality component which is made of durable rubber material and it is sold individually.
1. Remove tank from Brush Cutter by releasing rubber tank support straps with pliers. Do this by pulling rubber tabs up and outward.

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.
