Toss your thermostat, and carefully plug the opening with a small shop towel. Grab a razor blade and some solvent/soap and get to scraping. Clean and wipe down carefully. Remove the towel and put in your new thermostat, along with the new gasket. Put back the housing neck.

While that’s going on, you can remove the bottom radiator hose and it will drain out. Also remove the heater hose (smaller hose connected to the radiator by the lower hose)

After all that draining, remove the top hose and take off the thermostat housing neck. Mine was gnarly and all gnarly looking.

Get a bucket/drain pan and remove the radiator drain plug from the bottom of the radiator. Let this drain for and while and squeeze your top and bottom hoses. There is also a sensor on the bottom of the radiator that you can remove that will let some juice out. ALSO there is a coolant plug on the bottom of your center iron, if you follow your oil filler spout down under the car, there is a nut remove this to drain the coolant out of your engine. Clean and Reinstall the bolt.

Get some ziplocks and keep the bolts you remove attached to the part you take off. Easy to loose these things.

I used a rubber grip wrench to wedge the pulley in place to stop it from moving, while I loosened the bolts.
