Lose the rubber gasket. It just rolls off when you put the hose on and messes things up. Hold the stat down like this:



This is the best thermostat that I have found for year 'round, all temperature, all altitude use: the Stant 14157.

The one I used I bought from O'Reilly as their part # 2962 that was in a Murray box # 4157 but it's the same as the NAPA # THM 111 and the Stant # 14157. All the same stat manufactured by the same manufacturer for a 1990 Subaru Justy.
