Best Answer

To install a thermostat:

The engine should be cool.

1. Put down an appropriate pan to catch leaking coolant.

2. Follow the upper radiator hose to the water outlet. That is usually where the thermostat is.

3. Remove the bolts that hold the water outlet in place. The thermostat will be under or inside it.

4. Remove the old thermostat.

5. Clean any sealant or rust away from both mating surfaces.

6. Place new thermostat with appropriate gasket in the housing. Use sealant as necessary.

7. Put the water outlet back on and tighten the bolts.

8. Replace any coolant that was spilled or refill the radiator.

9. Check for coolant leaks.
