    I'm trying to remove the airbox on my 2015 TRD Offroad because my truck has thrown a P0333 code. Excellent information on this site on that subject however with no factory SM I'm not sure how to remove this clip (or the wire from it) so I can get the airbox out engine bay. Any advise here would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, HomespunIMG_0804.jpg

    Cut it off. Use a new zip-tie.
    Use the existing hole as an anchor for the new tie.

    (The hole will be where you pull the cut off piece out)

    Yea if you can't access the back of it to push the clips in just cut the zip tie part and feed a new zip tie through it.

    Reach inside with needle nose pliers and squeeze the tabs, it will come out intact and then you can reuse it
