To remove the canister, perform the following:
Remove the two bolts that hold the canister onto the car and drop it down.
Then remove the bolts that secure the canister to the shield cover.
Disconnect the wiring harness to the canister near the rear of the vehicle.
Then pop out the harness sensor from the canister with a pair of needle nose pliers.
Then slide the hose clamps off the canister onto the hoses.
Use a screwdriver and pop the hoses off the canister and remove the purge valve.
Then take the remaining two hose clamps off the hoses that the canister is hanging by and use the screwdriver to take the hoses off the canister.
Then the canister will come off.
I recommend that not only changing out the foam inside the canister, but also replacing the purge valve. Installation is the opposite of the removal. If you need further assistance with your charcoal canister, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
