Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

I'm replacing the thermostat and water pump today. How do I remove the tstat from the housing? Do I need a special tool to remove or install? Thanks!

POST 4Original post

All you need is a couple of stubby screwdrivers to push down on the tabs of the thermostat and then rotate it a bit. It comes right out.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the help. I was able to get it with two pointed nose pliers.
