I cleaned my breather box the other day. Piece of cake.

It was fairly clogged at both of the smaller openings (has three). Used a small screwwdriver to scrape and scrape the crud loose that I could see (or reach inside). I then sprayed engine cleaner into it while holding the other side closed with my finger - and shook and drained. Had to repeat the spray, shake and drain about 5-6 times B4 it came out clear.

I used some Permatex gasket 'GOO' too, but I only used around the larger of the bottom openings. The other smaller tube/opening slides into the hose that feeds into the crankcase. The rubber on this hose was not rock hard, so I took a chance that it would seal itself off - and it did. No leaks.
