These connections might be secured with clips, clamps, or screws. Carefully release any fasteners holding the pipes in place, and then gently pull the pipes away from the bulkhead. Remember to drain any coolant from the system before disconnecting the pipes. If you're unsure, it's a good idea to consult your vehicle's manual or seek advice from a professional mechanic.

NOTE
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement
fasteners must be the correct part number for that application.
Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of
thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service
procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on
fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings
affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the
fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

there are two large coolant hoses connected to your radiator. Follow the lowest hose to the engine which is connected to a pipe. The pipe is connected to an pipe-elbow. Behind the pipe-elbow you will find the thermostat. It is troublesome to replace due to the compressor and alternator that are in the way.
