I can't help you with the torque for the bolts.
1. drain the coolant at radiator bottom drivers side has a valve. when done close valve. 2. unbolt thermostat housing. 3.swap thermostat 4. bolt housing back to water pump 5. fill with coolant and burp it. probably the longest step. really nice to have a large funnel for this step. Did I miss anything?

Can I ask why you’re changing it? They are pretty resilient. Do you have mods that are causing a heating issue while driving?

fill the engine from the top hose! do no fill the radiator first because if you do you will spend a few days getting air bubbles out of the cooling system

Get a radiator funnel. I picked mine up after hanging out with my mechanic buddy years back.
No regrets |

See this L99 thermostat replacement video below. Or you can find it from the link in my signature also. To help get the air out, fill the coolant from the top hoses and squeeze the bottom hose with the cap off to move trapped air out.
