Follow upper radiator hose to engine
its under the throttle body you may need to remove exhaust cross pipe

That's great advice by BMRFIXIT, and he is correct.

However, if you just remove the exhaust crossover heatshield, you can remove the thermostat housing. It may be a bit awkward to remove the thermostat bolts, but it is definately manageable and better than trying to remove rusted bolts and nuts on the exhaust.

Goodluck.
