Drain the radiator, follow the upper radiator hose back to the engine. It will lead you to the thermostat housing. Remove the 2 retaining bolts and the housing. Remove the thermostat, replace it with a new one (facing the same direction) replace the housing, replace the upper radiator hose and refill the coolant.
