If u look on the drivers side of the engine. and follow the upper radiator hose to a plastic flange attatched to the motor there should be three 8 to 10mm bolts 2 on top and one underneath. the one underneath i used 1/4" drive socket wrench with a short extension to get off. it also helps to take off the air filter tube and move it back to the back of the engine bay. after u get the upper radiator hose off the thermostat will just be resting inside the housing.
