I did a search on replaing the thermostat and all I could find was ,it's easy just two bolts. well I see the two bolts and they dont look easy to get to. A pulley is in the way and I cant even find a tensioner to get the belt off to take the pulley off.!!!

 

I just recently changed out my Thermmostat, but it was on a N/A coupe. So I think there are a few more obstructions in the way for you to remove the stock unit. I did not have to remove the belt or anything, just used a 3'' extension on an 8mm socket and they came right off, of course I don't have a Supercharger in my way That is a problem I wish I had. But all I did was remove the plastic engine cover and I was able to acces the bolts.

 

Yeah its all s/c pulleys in the way. So the belt has to come off to take the pulley off but I cant find a tensioner.............

 

Here is a pic copied from another thread here: Looks like pulley number three must have something.

 

I just did my t-stat on the 6 this afternoon. I removed the two clips and one plug in on the fan assy. and removed it. Then I use my inverted torx E10 to loosen the tensioner and remove the serpentine belt from the idler pulley near the t-stat. I then removed the idler pulley by unbolting the 16mm bolt. Then you have clear access to the two E10 bolts on the thermostat.

 

If you ordered the pulley from Needswings he includes the socket you need for the tensioner.
