the filler for our radiator has 2 bolts on each side of it. Drain your radiator fluid (little plastic twisty bolt on the passengerside of the radiator at the bottom)then unbolt each bolt on the side. pull it off and then grab the thermostat out.I just did it a few weeks ago n it was fun.

the search is a wonderful thing, also a chiltons is very helpful

the thermostat is in the thermostat housing right under the radiator cap, follow the upper radiator hose, its held on by two bolts like ^^^said
