Q: How do you remove and install an air cleaner assembly on 2002 through 2008 Toyota Solara and 2002 through 2006 Toyota Avalon?
A: First of all, detach the clips, lift up the air cleaner cover, and remove the filter element. Disconnect the MAF sensor electrical connector, then disconnect the air intake hose from the cover. To do this, disconnect the MAF sensor connector, then remove the clamp to separate the air intake hose from the air filter box.
