Before you begin working in here remember the radiator is very soft and bumping it will cause lots of damage. Start by getting a 10mm socket and a short extension, remove the screws and two front clips from the engine undercover, disconnect the right fan, and remove the fan assembly. Now that the fan is out of the way you can easily see the radiator drain at the bottom of the radiator. Put a pan under it and slowly open the valve which will drain coolant straight down from that fitting. Do not completely remove the valve. It will now be advisable to open the radiator cap. Now remove the hose from the thermostat housing, and remove the three 10mm fasteners. The cover will come off and you can remove the thermostat which might be a little stuck but will come off cleanly if wiggled. I would recommend replacing all the hardware and would suggest cleaning the threads on the thermostat because its and aluminum housing and steel screws with a burr from handling will chew up your engine parts. The torque value for the thermostat screws from Suzuki is 10nm, and once again clean screws are a good idea for proper fastening. Put the hose back on , install the fan and connect it, and then refill the cooling system.
