Funny... the cabin air filter is mentioned (as is the simple
replacement procedure) in the Owners Manual. Two clips, behind the
glove box. Review you OM more carefully and ... take a flashlight.

He's referring to the engine air filter --- under the hood.

Well.... (hmmm) ... well, WHEN he gets around to doing the cabin
filter, I won't have to tell him again. ;-)

Any ideas please?

Ok... my idea is it may make a knowledgeable mind operating through
human hands (possibly with a tool or two) to free the air filter
element from its enclosure!

I'd like to know too.

I looked at it under the hood and I didn't see any
clips (spring clips, I guess) as in my previous Corolla.

But I didn't give it any further thought thinking that
I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

isn't there one person out there who can answer this simple question?

i asked my service consultant when my wife's car was in for an oil change and he said he
would install (and SHOW me on my 2002 camry SE v6) it for free-if i got it from them

this IS a silly thing (air filter replacement) to make" dealer done"
good luck

In case someone is interested I'll answer my own question. First I made a mistake - it should be 2003 Camry, not 2004.

Replacement is quite simple, just loosen the two bolts with a 10mm socket, lift up the casing and free it from the hinges the other end, then you have just enough space to remove the old filter and insert the new one. Put the casing back in reverse order.
