At the end of the lower radiator hose, in between the intake manifold and the engine.

the bottom radiator hose where it connects to the block. this isn't the one for a b20, but its verry similar.

remove the 3(i think) bolts and take it off. the therm is on the inside. just rem how it goes it.

just take the 2 10mm bolts out with hose on pull on hose and put in new thermo in and gasket then re assemble. and on some the ground may be on there and some are on back of housing. no need to remove hoses.
