Engine Air Filter Bolt HELP

[07CamryLE]

I broke the bolt on my engine air filter...2007 Toyota Camry LE 4cylinder....I called the dealer and the bolt does not come separate. Instead you have to order a whole new air filter cover piece. Does anyone know the size of the bolt or any sites i could buy one?

appreciate it..thanks

i bet its a 10 mm bolt, almost every bolt that i have taken off or removed off of mine was a 10mm

It isn't exactly a regular bolt, it has a collar on it so it won't crush the plastic on the cover.

N.E.O.

i had to use a 6 inch extension on the ratchets to reach that just to find out that TRD didn`t make air filters for i4.. what a shame.. but at least i knew they're were two of them

Have any of you that are saying to measure the bolt actually looked at it? It is not a normal bolt that you can find in a hardware store.

So buy a:

or modify a standard bolt, modify the cover to take a standard bolt or go to the junkyard.

I believe the bolt is a 4 x 1.75 x 30, you can use a regular metric bolt with a washer, and reuse the collar from the old bolt.

N.E.O.

the dealership is lying to you, my air filter bolt broke in half (the other half was still lodged in the lower part of the air filter box) they got the other half out some how and put a new bolt in its place. no ordering of parts of any sort

That is indeed a none servicable item from Toyota; you need to get the whole upper air cleaner housing. However, you can modify a standard bolt to work in its place.

N.E.O.

Updated the bolt size, 4 x 1.75 x 30.
