Location of Bolts of Thermostat Housing - 98 2.5
I can locate the bolt just around the belt guard but for the life of me cannot locate the other bolt. Any help PLEASE, pic would be awesome too.
1998 2.5 4 Cylinder I have removed the bolt with the green circle (well best circle I could draw)

Pull and remove the fan and it will make life a whole lot easier. Thats what I did and you can then get to that blind bolt.

Re: Location of Bolts of Thermostat Housing - 98 2.5
with radiator, fan, n shroud removed still kinda hard to see.. but you have fingers, feel.. only 2 10mm bolts... be sure to buy the O ring housing gasket, thermostat does not come with it...

Re: Location of Bolts of Thermostat Housing - 98 2.5
Thanks after removing Fan Cover and Fan I could get my fat fingers in there and feel the other bolt. Now my daughter has a fail safe thermostat which makes me feel better.
HOWEVER, the fan appears to not be rotating correctly but I tightended all four bolts down.
