Default Access to the oil breather box

I have a LHD Cossie 4x4 and want to know how to remove the oil breather box so I can upgrade it (build one myself). Because it is LHD there is the brake master cylinder and ABS stuff right there so you cannot get your hands in there let alone see it. Don't know where to start.

Oh that looks complicated, same problem is getting to the bolts with the brake M/C there. But how is the breather held in, is it a push fit with O rings or what

Can you not get at it from underneath as thats how I got mine out (on a RHD 2wd car).
If its the original then its just push fit.

Thats a possibility but the oil filter is there , thats no big deal , and I think the steering column is too, I guess that is the penalty for having LHD. If it is push fit thats probably why its leaking now I have 27 psi of boost. At the same time I will have to make up a pipe connector that is also push fit with O rings
