where u put the thermostat in, is that thing i broke its called the housing i think but yea its attached to some tube to replace but dont know how to take that tube off. any help thanks

Take out the two mounting bolts on the engine housing, tap it lightly with a hammer and the hose and hosing will come of. The old thermostat can be lifted out. Just put a new one i, with a new gasket and tighten the bolts back. Don't forget to add whatever coolant may have leaked during the operation. Start the car and check for leaks. all finished 15 minutes

Engine must be cold, drain coolant, follow upper rad hose to engine and remove the housing. Clean old gasket from mating surfaces and place new gasket and thermostat. Be sure you put thermostat in proper way, check valve up and in the right direction. Tighten housing, put drain plug back and fill rad with a 50/50 mixture of water and coolant. Run car until warm, fans come on, check for leaks. Allow to cool completely and check level, adding if needed.

take out the housing, but at the same time memorize the way you took it out.
