where and how to replace thermostat on chevy cavalier 1997 2.4 engine

as you stand in front of car----- look to the upper radiator hose on right side- follow it to the engine. the place where it connects is the water outlet and the thermostat is under that. it appears by the diagram and labor time that a few things may need to be removed to access the bolts to remove it. be sure to "burp the system", that is make sure no air is in system or the car will overheat. good luck!
