After watching about four different videos on how to do this job, I can verify this is the best tutorial available.

Dude... I actually have my own channel on fixing cars, but this video convinced me to take it to a mechanic. I've never seen a car where it takes this much work to replace a simple thermostat.

This was definitely helpful to give an idea of how to go about it. I’m a professional tech and i still found that bottom bolt quite frustrating. On the reinstall I found it helpful to go ahead and put the bolt in the lower hole and get the socket extension on and work the whole thing into the engine bay together.

Yea I forgot about the other tip I had for this vid at the time. Same what you saying. I use one of the 8mm bolts from the bracket, put a lil silicone on the treads then insert the bolt in the hole so it would stay and then insert the thermostat down in its place..good stuff man

I don't have a car with this engine, but this was well-done & very informative. I like the idea of taping the swivel socket on, so I will keep that in mind. On my 2003 Saturn L (2.2 Ecotec), when I replaced the crank sensor, it required removal of the starter. When I replaced the starter, I had to tape 1 of the bolts to the socket & extension. I have heard of stuffing a piece of paper or a leaf into the socket to hold the bolt, but that was not going to work, so it had to be tape. You just have to be careful and try to position the tape so that it will all pull back once the bolt is seated in the threads.

6 hours later the job is done. Removing the bottom bolt and getting the hose clip back on are brutal! Luckily, I was able to squeeze my fingers under the thermostat to guide the socket onto the bolt for removal and line it back up for reassembly. For reassembly start with the hard bolt - I had to take out all the bolts and start again off because I couldn't get the lower bolt lined back up with the threads.

Thanks for the video!!! This the main one I used to change mine on a 2017 Jeep Renegade. I watched another video where the guy removed the battery instead of the pump. This was easier, battery looked more of a hassle. The difference on mine was the hard bolt. Swivel didn't work for me. I had to use a straight extension, about 8 inches I'm guessing. Also the crazy thing on mine was the upper left an lower right were the 10mm bolts and the other 2 were the the 8mm bolts. If you read this, can you answer this - what kind pump is it that is removed - what does it pump? Thanks!

Dang I wish I could stay that calm 😅

what size and kind of tools you use for the last polt

Here's a few extra tips: use a mirror for the 10mm socket on the bottom if you have a small enough one so you can see where the bolt is at! Also, if you lose the small metal clip like I did, you can use a hose clamp instead of replacing that clip, it works just the same.
