When you are done let the car run for a few minutes and open the bleeder screw (on the top of the housing) a little bit until no air bubbles come out. tighten bleeder. and your done

Its easy if the bolts arent in super *** freakin tight. Thats where I ran into problems. It took me a good 30 minutes to pry them lose.
I dont think mine was ever replaced. If you can get those 2 bolts off quickly then its easy. While your at it you might as well change the coolant and the hoses. The cars a 2002 so that means you got it in 2001? Coolants due for a change every 5 years anyway.
Good luck.

Instead of running the car w/the bleeder screw out. Fill it with the screw out. when you get a constant flow put the bleeder back in. That should keep you from having to mess with the bleeder while the coolant is hot.

Well all went well. The bolts weren't really tight. Cooland and hoses I checked out and were in good order[recent coolant change]. I just wasnt smart about it. I did it about 15 minutes after I got out of my car. Coolant was lil warm, but that didnt stop me too much since I used leather search gloves. But Im happy with being my second minor mod to the car.
