* Disconnect the negative battery cable * Drain the cooling system if the coolant is pretty new save it * Remove the air duct between the air cleaner housing and the throttle body * On V6 models follow the upper radiator hose to the engine to locate the thermostat housing .On V8 models the thermostat housing is located in between the engine and the cooling fan in front of the power steering pump * On V6 models remove the hose from the housing by loosening the hose clamp. Squeeze the ends of the clamp together with hose clamp pliers.If the radiator hose is stuck grasp it near the end with a pair of adjustable pliers and twist it to break the seal then pull it off if the hose is old or is deteriorated cut it off and install new one. * Remove the fastners and detach the thermostat housing cover.If the cover is stuck tap it lightly to jar it loose * Remove the O-ring seal and discard it * Note how the thermostat is installed and then remove the thermostat from the housing. * V8 models remove the fastners and detach the thermostat housing cover if stuck tap it lightly to jar it loose * Note how the thermostat is installed and then remove it.Remove and discard the old O-ring seal
