I've been trying to take pics of everything I do to my car lately, just in case it can help someone out in the future...
A while ago, I found a near-perfect EVAP tray at the junkyard. Even though it was almost perfect, I was taking a bunch of stuff to get powdercoated, and decided to throw the tray in with everything else.
Here's how it turned out...
First you take a look at it from underneath the car. Should have taken pics of this, but forgot...
There's a solenoid at the very rear of the tray and you can see the plug for it right there. Unplug the solenoid first.
Next, you should see a hose coming out the driver side to the frame. Pull that hose out of the frame.
After that, you'll see two hoses coming out the passenger side. Disconnect those about a foot's length out where they attach to some metal tubing. This was kinda hard as the hoses were disintegrating and turning everything black. I ended up replacing the hoses cuz the originals were BAD...
Here's where the pictures start. Now, you can remove the 4 8mm bolts, 2 front, 2 rear. Drop the tray down to the ground...
The 2 canisters are held in by being squeezed by the side of the tray. You can see in these pictures that I used a screwdriver to pry it loose. Theres a tab on the bottom that slides into a slot to hold it tight at the other end (not pictured)...
Here, you can see the tray without the canisters in it. You can also see the slots where the tabs hold on the bottom. There's a plastic loop that holds the solenoid still that just mounts to the tray with a "christmas tree" type push pin that I had to reuse on the new tray. You can see it in this picture too... (Your's may or may not have come with a leaf in it
)
Here's the new tray with the canisters and stuff next to it. Here you can see the 2 new hoses on the right side. One is smaller than the other. I used 7/16" and 1/2" hoses about a foot long. The other hoses were still in great shape. You can also see the hose on the left that "plugs into" the frame...
The canisters installed in the tray. I wanted to clean them up some, but was in a time crunch, as I had to take the car to drop off at the body shop to get some recently repainted panels wet-sanded...
Undercar shot with the tray installed. Don't mind the leaking differential, that's getting replaced VERY soon...
