How do you change a thermostat on a 2001 Toyota camry V6?

thermostat is at the back of the engine (fallow the lower radiator hose). thermostat is at the back of the engine in the middle. Drain engine coolant, Remove air cleaner assembly and air filter, Remove the 2 nuts (holding the wire harness in place) and pull back the engine wire protector from the water inlet and cylinder head, remove the bolt, disconnect the inlet pipe from the water inlet, Remove the o-ring from the inlet pipe (this pipe connect the lower radiator hose to the thermostat housing), remove the 3 nut, water inlet and thermostat, Remove the gasket from the thermostat. install in reverse.
