'92 Toyota Cressida

My daughter just picked up a 1992 Cressida. I have been trying to
figure out something that should be simple...how do you replace the air
filter?? I released the 3 clamps, but the rest doesn't seem to move in
order to gain access to the filter. What am I doing wrong? I don't
want to force anything and wind up breaking something.

The air filter housing will sometimes stick to itself. When you release the
clamps, just flipping them is not enough. You have to unhook the clamps so
that the upper and lower sections of the clamp are completely separated
before the housing will release.
