No problem....and let me know if you have any issues. Really, it's easy to do. Let me make another suggestion. You really don't have to drain any coolant out of the radiator to do this...it's a PITA to take the drain cock off and it's pretty easy to break. Just take the green cap off of the expansion tank and then take some clean hose and syphone out all of the coolant from there. This way you have very little spillage when you take the thermostat housing loose, enough you can deal with it. What you syphon out, you can put back in after the job. Once again, good luck! By the way, I checked and it is a Torx T40 size. Make sure the extended bit is slim and about 6 inches long if possible. It will make the job so much easier. Actually, although AutoZone doesn't make a "bit," they do make a slim screw driver like device that you slide different Torx "shafts" into...that's what I finally went and bought (in the other car while I was in the middle of my thermostat job). It worked fine, but I had to buy the whole set and that cost me about $20 or so.
