Hi:
IT's not hard. First drain coolant from the radiator. Next follow the upper rad hose to the engine. When you reach the end, the hose will be attached to the t-stat housing. Remove the hose, unbolt the housing, remove it, and remove and replace the thermostat.
Reverse order to replace.
Let me know if you have questions.
