How hard is it to replace the thermostat in a 2002 Mazda Protege?

Question

My car keeps overheating and the coolant is full, I think I need a new thermostat? I know they are cheap, but how much does it cost to pay a shop to replace one?

Answer 1

super easy to fix, and i mean EASY

just look the lower hose going to the engine, release 2 10mm bolts and the thermostat is there, just remove the old thermostat and place the new one with a new oring gasket and s***w back

very simple thing to do
