In this video, I show you how I removed the thermostat housing in a 2005 Ford Explorer. This 3rd Generation Ford Explorer was leaking coolant. After diagnosing the leak, and locating it, I went through the process of ordering a new thermostat housing and removing then replacing the faulty one that was leaking.
It’s a fairly simple job with a few things you need to watch carefully. Those few things include the bolts in the housing which can break. My bolts broke when I was removing them. It was a painful reminder to slow down when you’re working on your car or truck.
