Howzit

Plenty of space to work so should be easy enough.

Thermostat:
located in the water housing that connects to the engine block
1.Remove bolts on either side of water housing ,Not sure what size
2.replace thermostat

Coolant:
1.Jack up car if dropped
2.open water bottle cap
3.remove under engine cover
4.Open drain valve , located on the drivers side, behind bumper - coolant will drain
5.close valve
6. topup coolant G12

Do not change just the housing on those cars, also change the crack pipemthat runs from the pump behind the head to the housing.
It is very easy if you remove the intake manifold.(which is really easy to do as well)
