not hard at all, pull the water neck off the block (or the head, i cant remember if its upper or lower radaitor hose) and there you go pull it out put the new one in and your good to go

do you know which temp. is the factory thermostat?

 

[SLV_DB7]

The thermostat is the one located under the Dizzy

 

[GreenGobln96]

do you know the temp of the stock one? they come in like 170, 175, 180, 190?

 

[Spody02]

i wanna say like 180, but the i would get the lowest i can

 

[GreenGobln96]

so i should get the lowest one i can get? like 170 or 175?

i dont think it matters much? my went not too long ago also and i got 180. And its 88-94 top left hose, 94 and on bottom left. For some reason though my 92 integra's was on the end of the bottom left. Its not too hard to get to but you need to move a few wires and a hose, pop it off and your done. if you flushed your system make sure you bleed it again.
