Mask the vehicle and progressively remove the crazed plastic material from the head lamp covers using increasingly higher grit levels of abrasive. Make several passes of each level until the damaged surface is improved. Use a cutting compound in a liquid form as the final procedure, and high speed buff the lenses. Apply a protective carnauba sealer to the lenses, and clean the residual material from the cutting process. Level the vehicle and set up the projection aligner. Remove built up debris from the adjustment cams (where accessible) and lubricate the adjustment pivots.

Clean the exterior connections of the vehicle's EVAP system plumbing connections to ensure no debris enters the system during replacement. Remove the supply lines and vehicle's electrical connectors and clean and tighten the terminal ends as well as the plumbing connections to be attached to the replacement components. Using low air pressure, back flush the system to remove any dust or dirt within the system's plumbing. (evap components are exposed to atmosphere to vent the system which eventually causes debris intrusion.) Install the replacement valve and secure into its factory location. Apply lubricant to the plumbing connections and reconnect the electrical and vacuum components. Reset the computer systems memory and install leak detection equipment. Pressurize the system with Nitrogen to the factory's specification and perform a full system leak test. Confirm that the system has no detected leaks and is operating within specifications. Run the vehicle to operating temperature and check the computer data to confirm that the system is operating properly following repairs.
