i want to replace an air filter in my 2002 Camery. after loosening tthe
only 2 bolts the cover seems to be held on by some clips and it will not
come off enough for me to pull the air filter out. How can i get this cover
off to get at the air filter?

thanks

Volvo played a similar trick with the 240. Two quick-release clips,
but you have to spend 15 minutes wrestling the rigid air hose off before
the cover will open.
