Hey Everyone,
So I started my new thermostat project today and I thought, "why not document it" for those that would like to see it. I know I would have and couldn't find where someone had done it yet. Don't know if this will be helpful to anyone but hoped it might be so here we go, will have to do several posts b/c of the pics
Part I - Getting It All Out
Start by jacking up the car in some way, I'm using my Kwiklift
Then either by removing the lower radiator hose, or using the drain plug (that is what I did even though some say it is risky) drain the cooling system. My 94 is 16 quarts so a clean 5 gallon bucket is great, especially if you are planning to re-use like me since I flushed the system only a few months ago.
Next I started to remove the windshield wipers and cowl cover. The windshield wipers just flip up the covers to access the bolts. Then disconnect the washer fluid hoses on each wiper. Take care to note their position for installation. The cowl is just 4 screws.
