A two-piece anti-lock brake sensor bracket has a first bracket member or mounting bracket which is welded to an axle housing adjacent a wheel hub. A second bracket member which is a sensor holder is snap-fit onto the first bracket member. An anti-lock brake sensor is mounted in the second bracket member. A snap-fit design for attaching the two bracket members also provides a quick-release, allowing the second bracket member to be detached from the first bracket member. The sensor holder has protrusions which engage with apertures in the mounting bracket. This two piece design can accommodate variations in tone wheel diameter and position with only minor modifications. Additionally, this design is &ldquo;universal&rdquo; in that the same type of two-piece bracket assembly works with reduced envelope brakes. Therefore, manufacturing and assembly costs are reduced.

A breather assembly (100) for a vehicular drive axle (10). The breather assembly includes a body member (102) having a vertically extending drainback tube portion (114) and a horizontally extending connecting portion (120), and a curved formed hose member (104) to minimize leakage of lubricant (S) from the drive axle axle housing (26) and ingestion of exterior water into the housing.
