Re: Changing Thermostat in 1997 Lumina 3.1?

Just 2 nuts and a hose clamp. Take the upper hose off the thermostat neck and bend it out of the way.

One nut you can reach (and see) from in front, the other is pretty much by feel, but there's a good sized space from the back side to work through. Make sure you have the new one pointing the right way, or you'll be doing it again.

And do the coolant bleed procedure when you're done, or it will still overheat.
