| Post subject: | Thermostat Replacement Steps |
I am going to complete original thermostat replacement tomorrow. I was wondering if anybody has a link to a thread/post that explains the steps they took. I recently have looked around this site but to no avail. Peace. |

1. Buy thermostat. 2. Replace thermostat. 3. Drink beer. Ya, I'm not help. |

Thomas. Shot me an email and I'll send you my notes. Rather too long and rambling to post just yet. |

Excellent writeup. I've only 2 comments: 1. on removal of the 3 tstat bolts to the block Squeeto recommends using a wobble extension. I second and third that motion as a regular 3/8ths extension binds on that "hump" in the manifold below the lower back bolt making removal difficult and reinstall without cross threading even more difficult. If you don't have a wobble extension buy one or you can try a 1/4" extension and socket which may clear. 2. when I did mine I found the temp sensor wiring clip was upsidedown (e.g. the sensor was screwed in so the release clip was on the bottom) so I had to pull the tstat before I could get to the release clip. I did take care not to repeat that problem on the reinstall. |
