It's hard to reach. You need a 12mm socket and a metric Allen wrench set that's somewhat long. I just replaced mine. It was difficult. Remove the fan. Remove the air inductions. I took off the alternator belt too. Some of those bolts were practically seized in there. Using anti-seize paste is recommended on reinstallation. You don't have to remove the water pump. The themostat is above the pump, at about two o'clock. I used a backflush kit too to clean the system out. Those kits are at all auto part stores. Prestone makes them.

AND DON'T DUMP THE ANTIFREEZE!! IT'S HIGHLY TOXIC. Ethylene Glycol breaks down into formaldehyde. It's sweet. Pets drink it and die of kidney failure. It takes only a teaspoon. Service stations that have a garage are required by law to accept your antifreeze. They will want to know that there's no other garbage in it, though, (like oil).

Most are located in a removable housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose
