To carry out the work, you will need an inspection pit or overpass.
Removal
1. Prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").
2. Remove the protective screen of the fuel tank (see "Fuel tank - removal and installation") and disconnect the purge tube of the adsorber.
3. Disconnect the tip of the separator tube 1 from the adsorber tube (see "Fuel tank - removal and installation") and disconnect the adsorber tube from the spring clamps 2.
4. Using a 10 mm socket wrench with a ratchet, unscrew the nut securing the adsorber to the fuel tank.
5. Remove the adsorber.
6. Remove the rear right wheel (see "Wheel - replacement"). We treat the nuts securing the separator and its tubes with penetrating lubricant.
7. Using a 10 mm socket wrench, unscrew the two nuts securing the separator tube to the body arch. We remove the tube holders from the studs.
8. Similarly, we disconnect the separator tube from the rear side member of the body.
9. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the clamp 1 and remove the fastening hose from the separator pipe. Using a 10 mm socket wrench, unscrew the three nuts securing the separator to the body.
10. Remove the separator from the car. If necessary, use a screwdriver to pry off the gravity valve.
Installation
We install the adsorber and separator in the reverse order.
