2006 Ford Freestar Thermostat Housing Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the thermostat housing on 2006 Ford Freestar?

  A: Draining the cooling system should be the initial step before servicing the thermostat housing. The first step for servicing the thermostat housing requires removal of both the air cleaner outlet tube and the upper radiator hose from the thermostat housing. The removal process starts with unbolting the thermostat housing from the engine portion before taking off the thermostat housing while discarding the gasket. The technician should apply bolt torque in two steps when reinstalling the thermostat housing to the engine by tightening to 8 Nm (71 inch lbs.) then continuing an additional 60 degrees twist. Following removal steps in reverse order will enable you to place the housing and complete the cooling system filling and bleeding process.
