Dig out the o-ring with a small pick, remove the thermostat, and install the new one+new o-ring. The small ball valve on the thermostat goes at the highest point (usually on the block side of the housing).
The real question is - why do think you need to replace the thermostat?

thanks-
the engine has been running very warm at ideal... warmer than it has ever been... getting close to 120.... but when im driving it goes back down to 90ish or so.... the car has a new radiator (dealer installed)... and no leaks around the water pump..... so thats my next guess....
thanks again...
