How do you change the air filter on a 2000 Echo without removing wires and hoses as there doesn't seem to be enough play to get at it?

It is STRONGLY recommended that you detach the air intake hoses first, these are easy to remove temporarily and this will give you the needed room to open and close the air box. If you are persistant enough, you CAN do it without removing the hoses, but I would not recommend it as you could tear a hose or not property close the air filter box (rear hinges properly in place) when done which would be VERY bad for your engine. One thing you could do is install a K&N performance air filter (for echo the model number is 33-2211) that only needs cleaning every 50,000 miles. You might save some money on replacement air filters, improve performance, and not have to deal with as many air filter servicings. However some research has shown that these can allow more particles through than traditional paper air filters, so they might not be the best long term for your engine and I personally would not recommend them. When you change the air filter, remove the air intake hoses (technically its one piece, but there is a secondary hose too, so you must detach in two places. This is not THAT big a deal, there is one big clamp which can be loosened with the attached screw, and the smaller hose clamp can be loosened just with pressure on the spring release. After you remove these, the job is easy. Be sure to wipe down all areas around the air filter box first with a wet paper towel, this will prevent dust/dirt from getting into the air filter components.

How do you change the front turn signals on Infiniti g35 2005?
By removing both air boxes you should have more than enough room. Removing them only takes like a couple of minutes apiece.
How does a physical such as mass or texture change without causing a change in the substance?
Ice melts to water if the temperature is high enough. This would change the texture but not the mass. It is difficult if not impossible to change the mass without changing the substance.
What are two ways to change the state of a substance?
Substances can change state, usually when they are heated or cooled. For example, liquid water turns into steam when it is heated enough, and it turns into ice when it is cooled enough. The closeness, arrangement and motion of the particles in a substance change when it changes state.
