My local oil change place said I need to replace the thermostat gasket on my 2001 concorde, it currently has a slow coolant leak. I dont want to pay them them $140 they wanted to charge me when the part itself was $6. What are the steps to replace it and are there any special tools needed? How long should it take to replace this part?

Thanks!

Here are the instructions. Make sure to do what it says. You'll have to change the coolant as well. One thing NEVER GET ANY MECHANICAL work other than an oil change done at a oil change place.
