Hello,
Locating the thermostat is simple, just follow the upper radiator hose from the radiator to the engine. The thermostat is located inside the housing, where the hose attaches with a clamp.
Simply remove the housing to access the thermostat.
It is important to only work on the cooling system when the engine is cool.
Here is a helpful guide:

I have attached diagrams of replacement procedure for your reference.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
