How to remove ESID
I'm getting the dreaded GASCAP message on my dash. I replaced the gas cap with a new one but that didn't fix it. I can't see any visible leaks in the system, so I want to try replacing the ESID, which is the little white box attached to the evap canister, as suggested in another thread here. Other thread says this is a $10 part and easy to replace, so I figure it's worth a shot. But I can't figure out how to get it off of there... I don't want to break the canister trying to pry it off, I know there must be a trick to it. Does it twist off? It has some sort of locking tab, but I can't see under there well enough to see what it does. I've tried twisting, pulling, prying, etc - I don't want to apply too much pressure and break it off, since it's all plastic, so it would be helpful to know how it's supposed to come off. Maybe I'm just being dumb, but I can't figure it out.
Any help?
