  Q: How do you remove and install the thermostat located at the end of the water pump inlet pipe on Honda CRX?

  A: The thermostat is installed in a housing threaded at the end of the water pump inlet pipe at the side of the firewall and can be replaced without removing the housing from the engine. It is necessary to unplug the battery negative terminal, followed by a draining of the cooling system. After that, unbend the radiator hose from the thermostat housing outlet, unscrew the thermostat housing outlet and the thermostat. The procedure for installation is again the complete reverse of the above removal procedure, it is however important that new gaskets and O-rings should be used including the right positioning of the thermostat/ with the pin oriented in the direction of the thermostat housing outlet. Last of all, the thermostat housing outlet bolts should be tightened to 9 ft. lbs. Put it in at 12 Nm and check and fill the cooling system again.
