I hope this helps someone - no pictures - sorry
Push thermostat back to original location.Ĩ) bolt back thermostat - 2 from below, one from top Attach large hose to thermostat under engine, then small hose. This (commissions earned) would really help in getting off the clamps.Ħ) Note that markings on hose - align with marks on thermostat.
With small hose removed, was able to bend large hose so that thermostat is under engine - then able to remove both the small & large hoses from the thermostat. I traced small hose to engine - removed small hose from engine(don't pull off hose with face under engine & mouth open. Removed 1 bolt from top, 2 bolts from bottom.ĥ) Thermostat has 2 hoses attached - 1 large, 1 small - these are pain to get off. I was getting occasional CEL P0126s, so I decided to replace the thermostat on a 2006 Mazda5ġ) Drained radiator from drain hole on driver's side of radiator - a little over 1 gal of fluidĢ) Removed overflow tank (empty & clean) and all hoses from radiator neck for hand accessģ) Did not remove tensioner belt as in manual - not neededĤ) Thermostat has three 7mm bolts - used 3/8 ratchet with 1/4 adapter & 6" extension - fit perfectly.
