Best Answer

Should be located in a removable housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose

Drain about 1 gallon of coolant from the radiator

Remove this housing

Note how thermostat is installed

Clean both surfaces

Replace thermostat and gasket

Re-install housing

RE-fill coolant slowly to prevent an air lock

Start engine and look for leaks

Run engine to normal operating temperature with heater on

RE-check coolant level
