Talk:Thermostat replacement
From www.FordWiki.co.uk
Just completed the job on my 2001 2.0 duratec, following the directions of this excellent guide.
Time: 3 hours Skill level: 2 Patience level: 101
It's just a tight space to get the tools in to remove the hose clips and bolts. I ended up using a pair of needle nose vice grips (jaw locking pliers) to hold the hose clips open so I could focus on pulling the hoses off of the thermostat. Worked like a charm.
