I'm getting new ones tommorrow to fix my beast..

thermostat is on the drivers side where the radator hose goes to the intake

there are two bolts and u pull it out, make sure the radiator is drained a little. Put in new thermostat and drop in the gasket. put all back to gether

Idler pully

Take off serpentine belt.
Unbolt the bolts for the whole idler pully assembly.
If you bought the whole assembly, replace it. If not take the acutal pully and replace that. And then put the assembly back on the car.

Put the serpentine belt back on. Easiest if you pull up on the belt to get it on the altinator pully, not the idler pully.
