On a preventive note...

I just drilled a hole, this way I can spray water using a garden hose to clean brake pipe every Spring (around April-May every year) w/o removing the fat-ass cover.

- Bought the 3/4-inch Jeep rubber plug used to cover Jeep differential. As it turns out, although this is called 3/4", one needs to use a 7/8-inch drill bit, which I didn't have.
So I returned the rubber plug ($3 at local auto parts store).

- Instead I simply drilled a 3/4-inch hole as shown and left it open.

Then hose it every April-May or so. Or hose it every 3 months or whenever you like...
