Nothing to hold filter

It is pretty simple. There are either screws or clips (I'm not sure which, as the manual doesn't say) holding one end of the air cleaner cap assembly. Just un-fasten the screws or clips and lift the cap assembly up and out of the hooks on the other end. The air tube to the intake manifold will still be connected and my make this a little difficult to do. If so, loosen the clamps on the air tube to make it easier. After replacing the filter element, make sure the cap assembly is fitted and secured properly and all clamps are tight. (See picture)

You may need a new retaining clip.

should be behind passenger side headlight. inside black box with snap clips that hold lid down. you should see the air intake line running to engine. undo clips 4 to 5 depending on year and model. lift lid and remove old filter. put in new filter and connect clips. takes about 5 minutes.

Look in the front, passenger side corner of the Ford Explorer, it will be just behind the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
Loosen the clips that hold the housing unit closed. Remove the lid and set it aside.
Remove the old filter from the housing unit. Clean the unit out making sure to remove large pieces of debris.
Replace the air filter with a new one that is compatible with the year make and model of your Ford Explorer.
Turn off the car's engine before attempting to change the filter, the filter acts as a barrier against the engine backfiring. Don't start the car unless the air filter housing has it's lid in place.
Put the lid back on the filer housing unit. Don't catch any part of the filter between the lid and the base or unfiltered air can leak into the engine. Reclamp the clips to secure the lid in place.

Power off the mains. The filter is located behind the silver plate at the back of the machine at the bottom. Four screws hold it on. Drain out all the water. The filter is inside the big black rubber hose attached between the pump and the main drum. Remove the plastic clip holding it to the pump unit and then the metal cir clip holding it to the main drum. Inside is a white molded cone and a big white ball which floats. You will find a lot of junk here, clean out thoroughly. To refit put white cone back inside just as you found it, at the bottom, fit ball back into the cone. Attach to the bottom to the drum and re-fasten the cir clip. Finally reconnect the gator to the pump unit and tighten the plastic clip. Check out the pump too before reconnecting.

The steps are described below

1. Turn off the car before changing the air filter. Don't start the car once the air filter has been removed, it acts as a barrier were the car to backfire.
2. Locate the box that houses the air filter. Look in the front driver's side of the car, closest to the windshield, near the center of the engine compartment.
3. Undo the clips that keep the housing lid secure. Lift the lid and compress the accordion-type tubing towards the engine.
4. Remove the old filter from the housing unit. Clean any leaves or debris out of the box.
5. Replace the old filter with a new filter that is made for the specific make and model year of your Toyota Camry. Use a K&N air filter, part number 33-2260, for a Camry manufactured from 2002 to 2007.
6. Pull the lid back over to the air filter housing unit, and snap it in place. Reattach the clips to secure the lid.

Check out your pump too, there may be something clogging it, prevents pumping water out.

Try going to a car recycler and obtain the clips from an appropriate donor car Im assuming that the clips themselves are removable and not held in such a way that they cant be replaced.if not the salvage yard is likely the cheaper option regardless.You could see if the chev dealership stocks those clips as a seperate item afterall the vehicle is only 3 years old.You could also try fuel system specialists in your area that would know more than most about wether the clip from another application will work on your vehicle.

Look down below the ' top' and you will see 3-4 tension loaded spring clips that you can release with your fingers after removing those screws. Cover comes off to the left hand side.
