Stewart, when I cleaned up the rear axle vent it looked like the vent fitting is just a loosely crimped cap to serve as a dust cover over the vent hole. So blow shop air through it or something to make sure you don't leave any blasting media in there. If you don't like the rust holes in the cap, I guess I'd just smear a light coat of sealant or JB weld over it. Just don't glue it down tight so it doesn't vent freely.
