On this vehicle, the Thermostat is built into, and part of the thermostat housing. So you replace the housing as a unit. THe housing will come with a new thermostat and gasket.
Disconnect the heater hose from the thermostat housing.
Disconnect the lower radiator hose from the thermostat housing and remove the thermostat housing.
