follow the hose that come of the top of the radeator,,,,, that is the t stat housing, take of hose , big channel locks will deal with clamp just fine,,,,, remove the 4 bolts " bottom left is pain in ass" . take old t stat out , put in new ,,,,put back together the same way you took off

Good luck. The sad thing is I have a T-stat that I still haven't installed. Coming up on a year now and still no install. Let us know how your install goes.
