Default Air filter

I have a 2002 Camry V6. Ok, this is a stupid question, but do i just remove the two bolts to replace the air filter. Any thing I should be aware of. i dont want to end up breaking anything.. after all I want to do it myself to save money, not to make it more costly.

Thanks

Just be extra careful you put the new filter in right, its easy to put in wrong. I know, i have the exact same car as you. If you look carefully at the new filter, one corner is a little different than the other three. So you have to align it inside the housing same as the old one comes out. No biggy except if you put it in wrong, the housing will not want to go back on all the way shut.

And just clean around inside the housing before you replace the paper element. Use a rag soaked in brake cleaner or something so dirt doesnt get sucked into the engine negating your filter change lol
