thermostat query

Hey guys,
I have a thermostat problem with my ranger, and the simple job of replacing it, is not as simple as it should be. I have a 93 ranger 4x4 3.0, and my problem is this; one of the two mounting bolts is directly under a super stiff wire loom, which is under an injector line, which are both (the loom and injector line) in front of the intake manifold. What's up? And what should I do, or is this a job I should let somebody in a heated garage do for me??????? Thanks, happy holidays.
>Mike

well, i did mine 2 times, and i did it outside (summertime, warm) with the help of 2 extensions, a knuckle joint, and some profanity. the second time went 100x faster. But its possible, i have the same truck as yours just a year later, so it should be the same. I dunno if i would do it outside though, i might try and con a friend into doing it in his heated garage

Thanks Peter, I'm thinking along those lines my self. You didn't have to tear apart that wire loom above the back bolt, or the injection line...?
