Best Answer

Unhook the top radiator hose from the engine thermostat housing. Now take the 2 bolts out of the housing that the hose was hooked to, and take the thermostat out.

Scrape the old gasket off of engine and housing. Install new thermostat with spring

down, put gasket on engine install housing and both bolts. NOTE- Be sure that you tighten both bolts EVENLY AND A LITTLE AT A TIME UNTILL TIGHT. Now install

hose and fill with coolant.

Before you start the job MAKE SURE ENGINE IS COLD and you will need to drain

coolant first. If it seaps coolant around the housing, then tighten the 2 bolts more.
