The thermostat housing is located on the drivers side of the engine just below the A/C Compressor. Is should take about an hour to change. This is including draining and refilling the coolant. 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2. Drain the cooling system 3. Remove the radiator hose clamp and radiator hose at the thermostat housing . 4. Remove the thermostat housing mounting bolts, thermostat housing and thermostat .
Ok, but the new tstat comes with a rubber seal. Does this mean that it is not necessary to purchase the Felpro housing gasket? In other words, I do you need to take off the tstat housing that mounts to the engine, or JUST the metal flange that the radiator hose connects to?
