Thermostat!

Ok, What's the trick? I just spent three hours trying to get the thermostat out of my '86 and all I got was frustrated. Clarks garage said to have patience but that didn't work to well.

RE: Thermostat!

Its a pain in the butt with the waterpump installed. You just have to get the clip rotated around in the right spot for your snap ring pliers.

RE: Thermostat!

If the water pump is still on the car and you can't get snap ring oliers in there you can remove it with a scrach awl from sears.

RE: Thermostat!

Thanks, I tried that....I couldn't even get the ring to spin to where I could get at it at a better angle. It is really frustrating and of course it snowed and really cold so I have not been able to get back at it.
