No, No, No - Jigger pin has to be at the 12 o'clock position - although I have to say you removing the radiator was a slick trick. thanks for posting - Remember jigger @ 12 no matter what car its a gravity thing.

I took the alternator away, the seat for the thermostat needed scraping. The pentafrost A1 fluid is 30$ too They are phasing it out because it has 1 extra organic ingredient The H in HOAT, making it incomparable with all the other Red OAT . Beck Arnley, Peak, all the Toyota Lexis long life OAT stuff , is not recommended to mix the two. Organic Acid

One mechanics tip when you don’t have a magnetic socket is to take a small piece of scrap paper and wedge the nut into the socket using that scrap piece of paper as the wedge to hold a socket in place. Works most of the time, and helps keep your language such that your mother would be proud.

The heads are warped in cylinder three is reporting a misfire and is getting a lot of fluid in it and at the same time the thermostat doesn't open up and that's what caused the problem originally. we're just going to bypass it and run this car till it doesn't run anymore. which is going to be very soon. it just have to make a few junkyard trips and its replacement van will be on the road

Just did this with an 07 corolla and the clearance is tricky. I had to take the bottom stud out, there wasn't clearance to fit the housing or the nut onto it. The swivel and the comment below about the paper were key. There's very little clearance to get threads started.

I gotta do this real soon. Got a new OEM tstat, radiator, water pump, upper and lower hoses. Had my fan off a couple months ago to do the starter and noticed some dried coolant in two corners. Had the tstat replaced about 2.5 years ago at a shop (I was working on the road). I knew whatver aftermarket crap tstat they used wouldn’t last. Also…you’re not supposed to use the red straight. Did you dilute with diatilled and just forget to film it? And those air bleeder funnels work fantastic.

6:00 mark. I TRIED that 1/4" swivel 10mm setup and couldn't get the socket on well enough to grab the nut! Had to go buy a Serpentine Tensioner tool and remove the alt. And trust me, I'm not a "give up" type of guy! I even swung the rad out of the way for better access to it and still couldn't get that socket on!!!

Anika Molino is right. I also read that " It is a reasonable theory to why the jiggle valve needs to be in a certain position". Also, there are several theories about the right position of the jiggle which has to do with the air trapped inside and this jiggle in that small hole allow that air to escape when water is boiling and reaching even 200 degrees! Some others are experimenting placing the jiggle area at other positions just to experiment with it. The state you found your old thermostat is telling you something! And then, when you took off the old one the jiggle it was at 12 position. You installed the new one at 6:30position. Please, let us know how your car is doing. Thank you! Dec 2020

In my 2007 corolla, I didn't have space to get a 1/4" swivel and socket all the way onto the nut. I may have had more trouble because the long bolt the nut goes onto goes all the way to the back of the socket, making it harder to get a short socket all the way down over it. I had to take the alternator out. It doesn't look like there is a difference in space between this 06 and mine, so you should be ready to take the alternator out. If you still want to try with the swivel, grease the joints on it first and maybe try a longer socket.
