No real need to bleed (breeding? i know my English is not perfect but!)the
front rad, me, i don't bleed nothing on a 2.1L.

Just work fast, pop those 4 screws out (T-Housing), prepare the new T-Stat
with it's O-ring, remove top of T-Housing, pry out, yes! PRY out the old one
and put the new one. Screw back top of T-Housing...

Open bleeder on top of T-Housing, remove the Expansion tank cap, start van,
add coolant if needed. When hot, close the bleeder. Go ride!

Note about the 2.1L rear T-housing bleeding screw:
Coolant will never flow out of this one! it's just opening a small internal
hole that goes to the bleeding ring around the engine bay.

Hello everyone,

I going to be replacing the water thermostat Monday (When UPS delivers it)
what is the proper way to get all the air out of the system after I am done?

Thanks,
