How do I change the air filter?

Hi everyone,

I want to do some of the maintenance on my 1999 camry. Obviously, it is old. I do change the oil myself and did plugs, points etc when I was a lot younger.

Videos and other research states that I need to compress the flexible air tube on my car to remove the air filter cover. However, my car does not have a flexible air tube.

I don't know why. I reviewed my dealer service receipts and there is no item listed aboutreplacing that air tube. Plus, why would they do it when the replacement part is flexible.

Any help appreciated

Thanks
