I'm not sure it was covered but the first step is to remove the canister entirely. It makes the task more manageable and in the end less overall effort than working in the blind with the unit still in the car.

Not sure if it's mentioned in the linked thread, but nowadays I always disconnect the battery first. There is a hot lug to the starter rather close by, and these days I'm far less reckless than I once was.

I finally found the time to get it done, thank you for your guidance!
I also replaced the fuel lines to and from the filter to the SPICA; anything else I should do while it's opened up there (bearing in mind, I am yet to turn the key)? Some SPICA stuff?
The rubber fuel lines on the other side of the filter canister should be examined, too, between the end of the hard lines coming from the tank and the filter.

Very satisfying to put this car back together but missing the hinge pin that the fuse box cover pivots on and of course, the knob that locks the fuse box cover in place. Anyone have a pic of these and/or have these laying around from a parts car? Happy to purchase! My car is a '83 S3 Spider -Thanks!
Yup, the oil filler cap dented the hood from the inside, it was a very bad pothole, but? I just replaced the front motor mounts thinking they were probably bad, but the old ones seem OK. Haven't checked the tranny mount, but no other signs it is bad. Looking for ideas and answers before I fix...
I bought my 91 Alfa this past April. I am the third owner. The second owner never used the rear boot because one of the plastic hard shell piece in one of the corners of the rear boot had become unattached. He never fixed it. When I bought it - I had it fixed. But - since the boot hasn't been on...
