Before servicing or repairing the thermostat, check that the radiator draincock is not loose while the system is under pressure or you could suffer serious burns by coolant leaking from the system. Remove all the coolant from the radiator, stopping when it goes below the thermostat housing and save any unused coolant you find clean. Apply special attention by using only clamp tools designed for constant tension hose clamps such as 6094 or HPC-20 for larger clamps and always use safety glasses while working. Should you have to replace the clamps for constant tension, get ones that have the same identifier as the stamped letter or number you find on the inside curve of the tongue. Unhook the upper hose and the heater hose from the thermostat housing, unplug the wiring connector on the engine coolant temperature sensor and remove the bolts that secure the thermostat housing. Afterward, unfasten the thermostat housing, gasket and thermostat, throwing away the old gasket. Making sure the pellet of the replacement thermostat faces the engine, clean the mating surfaces and ensure the flange's arrow and air bleed hole line up in the recess groove in the engine cylinder head. Secure the gasket and thermostat housing in place, tightening everything evenly so the housing does not crack and adjust the bolts to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.). Plug the hoses back on to both the thermostat housing and the coolant temperature sensor. After seating the radiator draincock, carefully fill the cooling system to the right level with your coolant. Engine readiness checks should include turning on and warming the engine and looking for signs of leaks.
