Subject:      Drain Coolant to replace Thermostat (2.1 L)???
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Esteemed List,

My Haynes manual sez:
1) disconnect battery
2) drain coolant
3) disconnect the wiring
then it goes into the difference between early and late models re:
disassembly
Can this be correct? The thermostat seems higher in relation to most of the
rest if the coolant paths.
Am I in for a big surprise if I don't drain the system first? I'm not
replacing the housing, just the thermostat.

TIA
