Follow the top (?) hose from the radiator back, and you will find the thermostat housing. Use pliers to loosen the hose clamp, then pull the hose off of the housing. There should be two bolts holding the housing itself on. Tap the housing GENTLY to break it loose. As long as you’re into it, you might as well replace the thermostat and gasket for another $15

LOOK FOR YOUR UPPER RADIATOR HOSE AND FOLLOW IT TO THE ENGINE RIGHT WERE IT MEETS THE ENGINE IS WERE IT SHOULD BE IF NOT BUT UNLIKELY IT WILL BE NEAR THE WATER PUMP. YOU DONT NEED A HOW TO GUID FOR THIS IT IS SO SIMPLE YOU NEED PLIERS, SCREWDRIVER FLAT HEAR RAZOR AND NEW THERMO GASKET AND SOCKETS. ON A SKILL RATING I RATE IT AT A 2 OUTTA 10.

The following instructions come from my Hanes Repair Manual #25040 for the replacement of a thermostat on the 2.7 L engine:
1. Raise the vehicle and place it securely on jackstands. Remove the right front wheel. Remove the accessory drivebelt splash shield.
2. Remove the accessory drivebelts.
3. Remove the lower alternator mounting bolt.
4. Lower the vehicle.
5. Disconnect the alternator electrical connectors.
6. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the air conditioning compressor.
7. Remove the oil dipstick and the dipstick tube. Plug the hole in the oil pan with a clean shop rag to prevent debris from entering the pan.
8. Remove the rest of the alternator mounting bolts and then remove the alternator.
9. Loosen the hose clamps and then disconnect the two hoses from the thermostat housing cover.
10. Remove the thermostat housing cover bolts and then remove the housing.
11. Note how the thermostat is installed, with the “jiggle valve” at the 12 o’clock position, and then remove the thermostat.
12. Remove all traces of sealant from the housing and coverr with a gasket scraper.
13. Install the thermostat housing cover and then tighten the bolts to the correct torque.
14. Reattach the hoses to the thermostat housing cover. Make sure that the hose clamps are still tight.
15. The remainder of the installation is the reverse of the removal.
16. When you’re done, refill the cooling system.
17. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature, then check for leaks and proper thermostat operation.
