help! Mazda Bravo MD25TI thermostat replacement...

[Jonathan Spears]

Hi. I have a 2002 Bravo with the Md25ti turbo diesel engine. I have found the thermostat under the alternator but there is very litte room for screwing it from above without removing the alternator... i would really appreciate some tips and tricks on how i can replace my thermostat without having to take apart half of the engine... thanks

Sometimes you have to remove 5 things to get to what you need to. Or go to Repco and buy a workshop manual that may have an R&R procedure in it.
