Your thermostat is inside your water neck housing. Your water neck housing has a radiator hose that plugs into the front of it and should be on the top part of your engine (just as a reference to help you find it.). Once you have the housing off antifreeze will go everywhere (unless you bleed the system first) and you will be able to see your thermostat inside and will be able to replace. Put back together as you found it and you're done. Hope this helps, let me know how it goes. Goodluck! (PS Sometimes your new thermostat needs to be broken in in order to work properly. Don't worry if your car overheats a little bit when you first drive. If you take the car on the highway, the increased water pressure will help that thermostat get used to opening and closing.)
