Air vent system for constant velocity joints

An air vent system for a constant velocity joint, comprising:

• a constant velocity joint having an inner race, an outer race, a cage, and a plurality of torque transferring elements;
• wherein said outer race of said constant velocity joint has a wall portion with a vent hole having a first axially extending channel and a second axially extending channel;
• a valve is at least partially located within said vent hole in said wall portion of said outer race, wherein said valve comprises:
• a stopper portion comprising a first axial inner portion, a second axial outer portion, and a radially outward extending portion interposed between said first and second axial inner portions;
• wherein said first axial inner portion is at least partially located within said first axially extending channel in said wall portion of said outer race;
• wherein said second axial outer portion is located within said second axially extending channel in said wall portion of said outer race;
• a disk portion located axially adjacent to and extends outward from said second axial outer portion of said stopper portion of said valve;
• a breather portion comprising a ring;
• and
• a channel comprising a first aperture, a second aperture, a first portion, a second portion and a cantilever elbow fluidly connecting said first portion of said channel in said valve with said second portion of said channel in said valve.
