1. Follow the upper radiator hose to where it meets the t-stat housing, once
it is located....
2. Drain coolant from radiator till it is below t-stat
3. Loosen clamp and remove rad hose from water outlet
4. Remove bolts that secure water outlet and remove outlet
5. Note the position of the thermostat
6. Remove old t-stat
7. Remove all traces of old gasket and any sealant from t-stat housing and
water outlet mating surfaces
8. Install new t-stat in same position as old one was.
9. Apply a suitable sealant to water outlet mating surface and press the gasket onto it.
10.Reinstall it and tighten down bolts snugly {DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN}
11.Reinstall rad hose to water outlet and tighten clamp
12.Refill radiator with coolant
13.Start motor and allow to warm up to operating temperature
14.Check for any leaks at hose connection and t-stat housing
