You have to remove the air filter unit. Take the flexhose off and then you have to remove the breather. That's the only way to get at the bolts. Its a real painbut its the only way. I just did mine. Good Luck!!!
On a 3.8L V6, it is very simple. Follow the upper radiator hose to the manifold just in frontof the throttle body. Loosen the hose clamp, pull the hose off of the "gooseneck". Loosenthe 2 10mm bolts (deep 6 point socket works best). And off it comes! Clean the surfacesand re-install new one.
It also helps to disconnect the 5-6 local sensors so that you can pull the wiring harness out of the way. There is also a vacumm line that you can pull off to help with clearance. Be gentle with the vacumm lines as they become brittle with age and heat over time.
$8-$16 for a new themostat and gasket.
