Allow the cooling system to cool before opening or draining
the system.
- Remove mechanical cooling fan and fan shroud. See Me-
chanical (viscous clutch) cooling fan, removing and in-
stalling.
- Disconnect coolant hoses from thermostat housing.
- Remove thermostat housing from front of engine.
- Remove thermostat. Note thermostat direction and orienta-
tion before removing.
- Installation is reverse of removal, noting the following:
- Use new O-ring and gasket(s) when installing thermostat
and housing.
NOTE-
Some thermostats have a direction arrow or vent hole near
the edge. Install the thermostat so that either the arrow or
