Have fun trying to get at it, I wanted to change mine myself, but the damn exhaust is so close to it, I couldn't get any sockets and/or wrenches in there to get the bolts off. If you decide you want to go for it, lemme know and I'll give you more details on what you can remove to try to get at it better.

Hi I am having the same problem trying to get the thermostat out of my daughters grand am any easy way to do it would be greatly appreciated.
