The first year I had my car, I tackled the deviation problem in my cold garage during the winter down-time. (OP is Canadian, he'll know what I mean). I decided to drop the engine out of the car which makes the replacement of the plastic guides soo much easier! While it is out you can easily check other things like the coolant tank (replacement sans motor is sooo much easier), oil filler tube condition, AOS, etc.
