This is what I was able to find for you.

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Drain and recycle the engine coolant.
Remove the thermostat housing. (at the end of the upper radiator hose on the engine side)
Remove the three bolts and separate the water outlet adapter from the thermostat housing.
NOTE
The thermostat is indexed and must be installed correctly.

Remove the thermostat and the O-ring seal.
NOTE
Clean and inspect the sealing surfaces.

To install, reverse the removal procedure. Torque all fasteners to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm).
Check for leaks.
