I would like to see a step-by-step description of how to accomplish this if anyone has done this before. Pics would be great.
I'm in the midst of replacing all the vacuum lines, the ISV and fuel injectors. I took the AOS out cleaned it the best I could outside then in. Took a mini-mag flashlight to all the ports and shining the light in the bottom drain and looking through the top hose connection - there is absolutely no media whatsoever. looking into the top port, all you can see is what appears to be an inner wall of the canister.
Can anyone break this process down into 3 main areas?
1. Opening on the AOS
What tools and methods and sequence (in detail) were used to open the canister and minimize damage?
2. Servicing the AOS
Exactly what kind of media should be in there, & how much? Is it safe to assume the old-school white breather element media is OK to use?
3. Closing/resealing the AOS
I've seen the JB Weld recommendation. But this might make it difficult to service again in another 25k miles if required. Any thoughts on high-temp RTV?
