Thermostat Replacement...Just replaced Radiator...Don't want to drain entire system again 200 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Tom on  Mon Jun 24 03:00 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I just replaced my radiator since my temp gauge was running hot. I did not replace my thermostat (I should have, but didn't) and the temp gauge is still running high, but I know the radiator isn't the issue.

Without draining all of my coolant, can I just detach the hose next to the thermostat housing, remove the thermostat, re-attatch the hose and re-fill the small amount of coolant I will lose...or do I need to drain the entire system again?

Also, it looks like installing a new thermostat is easy...are there any tricks?
