lepetitprince Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Hi all. Today I received thermostat, thermostat gasket, and thermoswitch from subaruparts. Since my friend is out in a vacation, I decided to work by myself again. Took some time to look through FSM and Haynes repair book on replacing thermostat section. I decided to replace the thermoswitch first. Un-hooked the top hose from the radiator, then unscrewed the bolts that holds radiator from the body. With out draining its coolant, I tilt one side of the radiator toward driver side so I can reach down and replace the thermoswitch. Everything went smooth untill when I tried to unscrew the bolt that holds thermostat cover. I got about one and half turn and it wouldnt go further. I know if I force it I might break the bolt so I just there. screw back one and half turn and left. Of course I tried to some oil to loosen the bolt but that wouldnt work either. I need some advice how to un-screw that bolt out. What kind of tool I need or some kind of know-how skill. Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Try truning the bolt back and forth, that will get it to free up most of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
