ok, so today i went to pep boys and bought myself a thermostat for my car. I got home take out everything to install the new one in; oddly enough when i open the cover and try to remove the thermostat, but there was no thermostat in there. Is this possible? Also, when i try to put in the thermostat, it doesnt fit, both end was bigger than the cover. I ask both pep boys and kragen and they gave me the same thermostat coz i thought i bought the wrong one. Does anyone knows what happen? Also, I read in the haynes manual, that another problem could occur because the heater hose is blocked, and it's instructed me to go take it out and flush it out. When i try to remove the heater hose, it seems to be really tighten and i use a wrench but it wont budge. Does anyone knows a way where i remove the hose easily? Thank for any reply, jz give me some suggestion to what u think the problem might be.
