Changing a thermostat ?

it,s not hard to do. drain the radiator, take the top hose off the thermostat housing, take out 2 bolts and lift up the housing, take out the old thermostat, clean both the housing and the intake surface, put the thermostat with the spring in the intake, put a new gasket on with some gasket sealant on both sides of the gasket, set the housing down on and put the 2 bolts back in but don,t tighten them really tight or you might break the housing, just keep snugging each bolt down 1 at a time until both bolts are tight, put the hose back on, tighten the hose clamp and refill the radiator.
