Removal

1. Raise and support vehicle. Locate EVAP canister, mounted to crossmember or left frame rail, near front of fuel tank. See Fig. 30 or Fig. 31.
2. Remove EVAP canister mounting bolts. Disconnect EVAP pipes at EVAP canister. Disconnect EVAP vent valve pipe at EVAP canister bracket. Remove EVAP canister.they squeeze together but you need to do this with cannister OFF the truck. It will be either mounted to frame or crossmember. crossmemeber shown..
