Subject:      How hard is it to replace the thermostat??
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Dear Syncronauts,
        The evidence seems to be mounting  that its "time to replace my
thermostat"!  I did a search and came across several sketchy passages in the
archives about the difficulty of replacing it  ( but it was pretty sketchy
"!)

         Mines an '87 and I'd love to hear from anyone that's replaced
theirs!

             I'm sure its not easy to describe, but I'm trying to get a
sense how hard it is to get in there and back out.  (Is it as difficult as
was mentioned by one person in the archives??)     I'm pretty good
mechanically, I've bled the brakes and cooling system and replaced the
master cylinder, installed new CV boots, main shaft R&R etc,  but I've never
done the stat.
             If its gonna be really difficult I was hoping to know that
before I start (so I can get myself "psyched " or ask questions if I get
stuck?)

And do you need any special tools?  Or has anyone documented it (on the web)
that you know of??


Thanks for sharing!

Peter
