replacing thermostat.. Options

[shegarhuney]

i've been reading ALOT of post about it and it seems to me that its a easy fix.. everyone's saying its a easy job!!.. but the problem is there's no picts to illustrate it or like step by step!!.. everyone saying that its a easy fix but no1 mention how to do it!!.. i'm trying to replace mine and was wondering if i'm sure where its located.. its circled in RED in the picture!!.. is that it?? i own a GT so.. its underneath the alternator.. above the ac compressor.. on the end of the lower rad hose(passenger side).. next to the oil filter!!.. am i right??

n i read that the thermostat has to be placed like correctly if not it'll not work!!.. so i'll be grateful if some1 can post a pict of how its supposed to be placed!!.. i've the thermostat n how do you tell whats up n whats down?? i know the this little nipple like thingy..

most mods on my car are done by me.. i know what i'm doing.. (well.. most of the time..) i replaced my rotors.. install my springs n struts.. install gen5 mirrors.. etc etc etc.. so yup..

i would advise you do a coolant flush while you're at it. a bottle of off-the-shelf coolant flush is only $5. don't overtorque the 2 10mm nuts on the waterneck to the waterpump (circled in red), the studs are relatively soft (aluminum studs ftl) so just tighten them snug but don't force it too much.. i broke one of mine in the process. bleed it well.
