It isn't normally hard at all, IF the housing is in the open where you can get at the bolts easily...but they can be a real pain when the housing is stuck between or behind something else (many new cars almost %26quot;hide%26quot; them)
If you try it, make sure you drain about 1 gallon out of the radiator first. remove two/three bolts from housing and pull off the housing. Remove thermostat, clean gasket/o ring surfaces good, put new thermostat in with new gasket/o ring. Be very careful it is %26quot;seated%26quot; in it's groove while you snug the bolts down, and DON'T over tighten...it's a %26quot;feel%26quot;.
Re-fill the radiator. Once it gets hot, let it cool a few, remove cap carefully, and top off again.1995 Toyota corolla repair how hard is it to?
Remove 2 bolts. Remove thermostat. Scrape off old gasket. Add new gasket. Add new thermostat. Tighten 2 bolts. Check and add antifreeze as needed. Drink a beer.1995 Toyota corolla repair how hard is it to?

No biggie - just follow the large hose from the top of the radiator to the engine. The flange this hose is connected to has the t/stat under it. Remove two bolts, lift the flange housing, replace the t/stat, put it all together. Make sure the engine is cold before opening the system, and drain coolant. Don't forget to re-fill it when finished.
There is no thermostat under the flange where the big hose meets the block from top of radiator.
