For tools You will need a ratchet with a 12mm socket and a short extension, a pair of channel locks or pliers, a flat screw driver, and a pan to catch the radiator fluid.
For parts you will need a thermostat housing ($85.00 at the dealer, abour $55.00 plus shipping on line. and a new gasket (this is an o-ring, and a great inprovement over the paper gasket and sealer that I am used to dealing with). and a little 50-50 antifreeze mixture to replace what will be lost.
This should only take about 15 minutes for the average Joe.
At the top of the radiator on the passenger side you will see a short radiator hose connecting the radiator to the thermostat housing. If this is the first time that the thermostat has been changed the housing will be plastic. The replacement will be cast aluminum (The plastic ones have been known to break).
You can drain some fluid from the system through the plug located under the bottom radiator hose. Or just catch it as best you can when you remove the radiator hose.
Remove the radiator hose by using the channel locks or pliers to expand the clamps and move the past the hose beads on the radiator connection and the thermostat housing. the hoses might be stuck to the plastic connections so carefully use the screwdriver to free the hosees. There will be a small bypass hose connected to the thermostat housing. this will be easier to remove after the housing is free from the engine.
The thermostat housing is held in place by two bolts. you will need the 12mm socket to remove them. The one at the top is visable and easy to reach. The second one is on the opposite side and not visible but easialy reached with the short extension.
Free the thermostat housing from the engine and remove the snall bypass hose in the same manner that the radiator hoses were removed.
The thermostate in part of the housing and to my knowlege not replceable.
Be sure that the old o ring is removed before installing the new o-ring and housing.
Reassemble in reverse order and your done. Don't forget to top off the antifreeze.
