How to service the Air Filter for a 4.0L or 4.6L engine on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

The first step for servicing the air cleaner element requires removing the wiring harness retainer from the air cleaner outlet pipe when using a 4.0L (SOHC) engine, or from the coolant expansion tank when using a 4.6L (3V) engine. Following the clamp loosening one should disconnect the air cleaner outlet pipe from the air cleaner unit. Start by separating the air cleaner cover through unclipping then remove the air cleaner itself. A adequate cleaning process must precede the installation step for the air cleaner tray interior. The process completion starts by returning to the steps you performed for removal. Keep the electrical connector of the mass air flow (MAF) sensor attached during the entire maintenance operation.
